Review of Veronica Guerin (2003) by Jean S — 08 Jul 2008

I am falling in love with Cate Blanchett. She is the greatest actress of this decade, alongside Kate Winslet. Her work is daring, provocative and emotive. The bad thing about this film is the director and the screenwriter is not that good, either.

They revealed you some facts with captions at the beginning of the movie, ruining the suspense and the experience. Some of the characters are not well developed or are portrayed as from the pages of a detective novel, affecting the reality of the movie.

Above all, Cate gives another excellent performance, recreating a tragic and sad event that affected not only a nation, but the world.
