rating: 5 QuoteA moving and gripping film Quote
I thought this was a brilliant film, very moving and non-sensational. The performance Cate Blanchett gives is outstanding, and the film tells the story of a brave journalist very well. I also thought it covered a lot of interesting issues and I would strongly recommend it. November 4, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteVeronica Guerin too EXCELLENT to NOT watch!Quote
I've read about Veronica Guerin and some of what she did to pull Dublin out of the gutter at a serious cost. I was not disappointed in the filmed version of her story. Not expecting a tear-jerker, so the flow of tears at the end was a sad suprise. For people who have an ancesterial link to Northern Ireland/Ireland, this is a must watch. For everyone else, don't miss this wonderful, yet so tragic, true tale of drug society under the unforgiving lights of scrutiny! October 3, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteExcellent for a movie on a true story...Quote
They did a remarkable job making a movie on Veri's life...she was a remarkable person. She wasn't afraid to speak the truth and didn't let the bad guys intimidate her. I recommend watching, especially if you're from Ireland and know the real story. I keep watching it over and over again! September 6, 2008

rating: 3 QuoteTiresomeQuote
Crusading journalist genre flick. Everyone speaks in a thick Irish brogue that tests your patience, not to mention comprehension. The film would have you believe that the journo's death was responsible for all but eradicating drugs in Ireland. I don't think so. Still, the acting and dialogue are pretty good, as is the cinematography. The director is a champ. July 8, 2008

A fact-filled "documentary" about Dublins recent past...concerning a Journalistand her impact on drugs and drug-dealing and organised crime in Ireland. Played with quality by Cate Blanchette (I love her) ...but seemed lacking in some of the qualities that make a good movie.......more background into the other characters, maybe more of an embelishment all around, in all aspects.
