| | | Slightly exploitative, but good. At that time it wouldve been a great movie. Daniel-Day lewis is simply awesome as Gerry. |

| | | A suffocating tale of innocense trapped in crime due to an ignorant system. Even more suffocating is the fact that it's based on a true story. A tale of courage and patience indeed.
Daniel Day Lewis shines in role of Gerard Conlon and so do the others in the cast.
In the name of the Father is a powerful piece of cinema. |

| | | Absolutely superb. A must watch in a no disturbance zone. The heavy irish accent is a wee bit tough to get so i kept the subtitles on. |

| | | A well made movie based on a true shameful incident in the history of Western Justice. The film shows how a Irishman is wrongly charged with the blame of a terrorist bomb attack. Its not a mistake by the police but they do so knowingly. This gets proved when the original bomber gets arrested and he admits doing it. All the police and judicial system just covers the mess they had made. The police even arrests the father and family members of the Irishman and they are also given jail for several years. The father and son are kept in the same cell and the scenes of their confrontation are just worth watching.The father also dies in front of his son in the cell. Years later Emma Thompson, a lawyer fights for the wrongly accused family and brings the truth out. A well directed movie also nominated for several Oscars. Knowing that it s a true story makes us all think about the family which suffered for years in the jail being innocent. A deserving four star movie. |
