The gripping true story of a young man’s journey from hero to alleged war criminal, the determined lawyer on his tail, and their search for truth in the fog of war.
　　Anthony Boyle plays the real-life soldier Brian Wood, accused of war crimes in Iraq by the tenacious human rights lawyer Phil Shiner, played by Toby Jones.
　　The two men go head to head in a legal and moral conflict that takes us from the battlefield - at so-called Checkpoint Danny Boy - to the courtroom, and one of Britain’s biggest ever public inquiries, the Al-Sweady Inquiry.
　　Memory, evidence and trauma collide, as Brian finds himself caught on the fine line between war and unlawful killing. After his service in Iraq and years of legal investigation, will he ever be able to look his family in the eye again and be the husband, father, and son, they need him to be?
　　Danny Boy is an urgent and thought-provoking drama that questions what we ask of those who fight - and kill - for their country.

It is written by Bafta-winner Robert Jones and directed by Sam Miller, and also stars Alex Ferns, Leah McNamara, Pauline Turner, Kiran Sonia Sawar, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.

 1 ) 戰(zhàn)爭會讓人失去理智，在人和獸的界線上搖擺。

 2 ) 反思伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭 打卡老戲骨Toby Jones

《丹尼男孩》（Danny Boy）就BBC 2臺 電視電影， 講的是 老兵Brian Wood (Anthony Boyle) 和他的人權(quán)律師Phil Shiner (Toby Jones) 的故事。

Brian Wood，人稱Danny Boy， 他曾經(jīng)上過伊拉克戰(zhàn)場、而且因其英勇善戰(zhàn)而授勛。然而他回國后罹患 PTSD ， 這嚴重影響了他與其妻子、子女之間的生活。。。。與此同時，Danny Boy 的經(jīng)歷 引起了人權(quán)律師 Phil Shiner的關(guān)注，他認為不列顛對戰(zhàn)爭負有不可推卸的責任。。。Brian 也對其在伊拉克的行為產(chǎn)生了懷疑。

《丹尼男孩》通過不到90分鐘的時長講個一個歷時十余年的故事，主要講述了兩個觀點：其一退伍老兵如何面對戰(zhàn)爭行為的指控，其二律師如何證明前者犯下反人性的行為。

電影對于 Brian一家的遭遇滿懷關(guān)注和同情， Brian 退役后罹患PTSD， 晚上噩夢不斷。。。這也嚴重困擾著與之同床共枕的妻子Lucy。Brian與其父 (Alex Ferns) 也是電影的重心之一。 Shiner 律師的搜證過程令人記憶深刻， 可惜的是電影只是簡述了相關(guān)過程、而不是向觀者展示相關(guān)的復雜過程。。。。

電影故事的過程有些脫節(jié)，盡管 Shiner的調(diào)查對于 Brian 產(chǎn)生了相當深遠的影響，但是作品演繹得顯得比較平庸。。。 對于Shiner而言，他考慮的是相關(guān)的大局，Brian并不是他關(guān)心的部分。 對于Brian而言， 律師沒有與其見面或者談話，所以Brian也對此毫無迫切感。 值得一提的是，電影卡斯還是可圈可點滴， Toby Jones 這個英倫老戲骨的參與整體水平上了一大臺階。 Shiner 律師反戰(zhàn)的觀點暗示了導演所要表達的電影主題。 此外，Anthony Boyle 曾經(jīng)在《哈利波特 - the Cursed Child》里扮演Scorpius Malfoy 小朋友、參演《Derry Girls》、《The Plot Against America》。
