An unlikely kind of friendship develops between Fergus(played by Stephen Rea), an Irish Republican Army volunteer, and Jody (played by Forest Whitaker), a kidnapped British soldier lured into an IRA trap by Jude, another IRA member.

When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out Jody's lover, a hairdresser named Dil (played by Jaye Davidson).

Fergus adopts the name "Jimmy" and gets a job as a day laborer. He also starts seeing Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know, either...

The story follows Fergus, an ex-IRA member who falls in love with the former lover of a British soldier who died in the hands of the IRA.

I haven't seen this movie yet. My personal opinion will be online as soon as I have seen it personally.

So check this page for it later.

Deveroux: Does Pat have a tart?
Fergus: She's not a tart.
Deveroux: No, of course not. She's a lady.
Fergus: No, she's not that either.

Jody: ...and as they both sink beneath the waves, the frog cries out, "Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion? For now we both will drown!" Scorpion replies, "I can't help it. It's in my nature!"

Fergus: Have you ever tried to pick up your teeth with broken fingers?

Dil: I'm loud, darling, but never cheap.
