DESERTER Martin Feeney (a  bearded, intense James Frecheville)  returns to his Irish homeland intent on seeking revenge for his family’s  deaths.

Hannah (Hugo Weaving in gruff Londoner mode) is a grizzly Army veteran turned bounty hunter keen to capture Feeney.

What follows is a taut, often violent drama with a powerhouse of a cast  – Barry Keoghan, Jim Broadbent and Stephen Rea to name  a few.

It depicts the atrocities of a country trying to pick itself up after the “great hunger” of the mid-19th Century while defending itself against the influx of the English with their   roof- burning bailiffs.

It begins with real promise  – expansive landscape shots, bleak and majestic, often hellish, settings which lift the on-screen freezing cold  into your bones.

Among cold and washed-out scenes, dialogue is sparse  – often in Gaelic –  allowing director Lance Daly to let their situation unfold rather than implicitly explain itself.

It bounces through many genres; Western, revenge, tragedy, historical reflection and educational. It  even seems to give a nod to John Rambo in First Blood.

Sadly, its ambition narrows as it realises the story needs some focus – leaving us with a more traditional third act than the film deserved.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
