Intriguing, based on a true story

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2001)

Some of you might comment, "Who are the actors anyway?" Well, to tell you the truth, I only knew Emma Thompson while watching this movie. And unfortunately, I only saw it during second half of the movie. But, how it touched me deeply. I was moved, I was crying by the time this movie ended. How could anyone be so cruel, to punish innocent people and they were jailed for more than 10 years? The evidence was so flimsy based!

This is based on a true story which make it more intriguing. The UK judicial system shook to its core when the revelations about this innocent people come to the surface. The impact of the movie was also deepened when the hero's father died because of illness while serving his imprisonment(that's why I think they name this movie 'In the name of the Father'). Go watch this movie and you won't be disappointed. All the characters in here deserves Oscar nominations!
