This film shows the real horror and hurt that Irish people have had to endure time and time again.

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2004)

During this film i am totally sure that you will have a lot of laughs and also a lot of tears. This is about growing up in Belfast and through the troubles. Daniel Day Lewis plays the main character of Gerry Conlon a 20 something Belfast thief trying to make something of himself and yet finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is so like many of the young men in Belfast trying to scrape a few pound to keep his ma happy and always falling into the traps of the law along the way. Pete Postlethwaite is a great actor as we all know and portrays the perfect Giuseppe Conlon, the father of Gerry, always trying to see the best in everyone and is let down time and time again.
This is a film well worth seeing and i assure you that you will be on the edge of your seat at this moving story of one man trying to prove his innocents to both the world and his family.
Unlike many films about Belfast this is set mainly in an English Prison and not on the Streets of Belfast.
