Veronica Guerin Movie Synopsis
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 journalist Veronica Guerin (Blanchett), who covered the crime beat with unmatched intensity. As she investigated and exposed the "pushers," balancing her home and family against her responsibility to her readers and country, she became a national folk heroine to the people of Ireland.
I really liked this movie and the strong (another) performance by Blanchette. SHe is likely the best actress working today. Very moving and emotional movie!
it was the best movie i ever saw and so true and honest.
