Boring film about a lively Activist.
historical drama
Rose Dugdale (Imogen Poots) rebels against her upper-crust English upbringing. She turns into a social agitator, social organizer, and finally a revolutionary. She tries to steal from her home for the IRA and her parents get her arrested. It's 1974. She leads three other men on a mission to steal valuable paintings and ransom them for four IRA prisoners.
The caper isn't much. More could be done to make that exciting. This is more about Rose's journey. It's her character study and that relies on Imogen Poots. Luckily, I really like her acting over these many years and she sells me on this character.
