Director Pete Travis (Vantage Point) got a well-deserved BAFTA in this gut wrenching film written by Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Ultimatum) and Guy Hibbert.
The story of a 1998 bombing that claimed 29 lives and injured over 200 shows the struggle against political stonewalling and cover-up by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and government authorities.
Imagine a father's surprise when he finds out that the authorities knew about the blast beforehand and did nothing. You can imagine the families of the victims of the September 11th bombings in this country and the suspicion of a cover-up. There was a real cover-up here.
Gerard McSorley (Veronica Guerin, The Constant Gardener) led a stellar cast that included Michele Forbes as his wife.
NOTE: Justice was not served with criminal prosecutions, but there was a successful civil suit after the OJ Simpson civil suit.
