Yes I have seen Hunger and I found it an effective if solemn portrayal of the Irish republic soldiers. More visual and visceral than story and linear, I found Steve McQueen gave the feeling of participation than the feeling of an observer, smelling the odors that rot and excess, to the cold air and halls.

this could have been a silent movie. Be prepared this is not easy to stomach some of it's scenes.
