Veronica Guerin
Synopsis
The true story of the assassinated Irish journalist, Veronica Guerin. Veronica was the crime reporter for the Sunday Independant investigating the criminal underworld in Ireland when she was gunned down in 1996.
Review
Golden Globe winner Cate Blanchett (The Lord of the Rings, Elizabeth) stars in Veronica Guerin, the critically acclaimed, powerful and poignant true story about a journalist who risked her life in search of the truth. In the mid-1990s, Dublin was nothing short of a war zone, with a few powerful drug lords battling for control. Their most fearsome opponent was not the police but the courageous Veronica Guerin (Blanchett), who investigated and exposed the ‘pushers’, balancing her home and family against her responsibility to her readers and her country. Because of her intense efforts, she became a national folk heroine and changed Ireland forever. From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pearl Harbor) and director Joel Schumacher (Bad Company), Veronica Guerin is a suspense-filled and thrilling story that will have you on the edge of your seat.
