Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film definitely showcases its Nineties, pre-9/11 (and also pre-Boston Marathon bombing) roots, a moment in which Americans had some romanticism for [[UsefulNotes/TheTroubles the Irish Republican Army]] and "the cause" and an ex-IRA bomber (even one that admitted to have been a foolish kid who was horrified and became TheAtoner after his first actual bombing went horribly wrong) was acceptable hero material.
