Review of In the Name of the Father (1993) by Mike S — 29 Apr 2013
Superlative drama, about a group of Irishmen wrongfully imprisoned as terrorists in 1970's England. As is ever the case with him, Daniel Day-Lewis exhibits a tour-de-force performance, that leaves one genuinely gripped.
Joined by esteemed thespians like Emma Thompson and the late Pete Postlethwaite, there is excellent acting to be found within the supporting cast as well. Sort of like an Irish version of The Shawshank Redemption and almost as powerful.
Certainly not to be missed!
