A couple things that bothered me

I just finished watching this on Youtube. It was great. Unfortunately, I'd seen the last 10 minutes or so and that's it. I finally got to see the whole things.

A couple of things-

1- Teddy and Damiens bond as brothers isn't really shown/defined
2- Why is Finbar in charge when they attack the cars? Was Teddy still not there? Didn't they already say Damien's in charge with no Teddy?
3- Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but they took a while to establish who Teddy O'Donovan was and that he was in charge of the guerilla unit. I knew the movie was about Cillian Murphy and his brother, but it was a while before I could even figure out which one his brother was!

1- Agreed
2- The ambush? Teddy was the one impersonating the cyclist I think. And Damien was second in command after Finbar while Teddy wasn't around. That's the way I took it anyways.
3- That was intentionally IMO

Will Graham: I don't find you that interesting.
Hannibal Lecter: You will.
