Owen (Children of Men) works for Anderson (X-Files); they are British MI5 agents. They each have someone undercover with the IRA - informants really. Owen's is new - a mother played by Riseborough (Oblivion). The IRA gets wind that there is a snitch and they are on the lookout. When Owen finds out who Anderson's informant is he makes a decision to save Riseborough. This proves to be a mistake in the twist of the an ending. This was directed by Marsh who directed 2 award winning documentaries: Man on Wire and Project Nim. Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) is also in this film I watched on Directv OnDemand. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like espionage and movies about "The Troubles". SKIP IT otherwise.
