How could 4 people be declared guilty of a despicable crime in the absence of testimonial or physical evidence of their guilt, and with the prosecution's dependence on contradictory and insufficient admissions?Watching this movie was like reading a book that’s a spellbinding page-turner. The last 15 minutes were a pure adrenaline rush. That courtroom scene was riveting. My blood was boiling.This movie delivers a hammering rock soundtrack by Hendrix, Dylan, Bono and Gavin Friday, setting a high-speed pace as fast as we can absorb to match the scene’s ambiance: we breathe rapidly, our adrenaline begins to surge, and our emotions go on a rollercoaster. It’s highly worth a watch in the name of the father of Gerry Conlon.
"Our case was so insane, that if you made it up, nobody would believe it."(Daniel Day Lewis as Gerry Conlon)THIS STORY, BASED ON TRUE EVENTS, BRINGS EVERYTIME AGAIN TEARS IN MY EYES, AND DESPITE THE INCORRECTNESSES, IS THIS CINEMATIC INTERPRETATION HEARTBREAKING, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF DANIEL DAY LEWIS MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE....
It follows a young Belfast man wrongfully convicted of an IRA bombing who spends fifteen years in prison while his father fights to clear their names.
It was directed by Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan in 1993, known for his work exploring political and familial struggles.
