  • I'm actually writing about Veronica Guerin in my final term paper and I didn't know that there is another film based on her story (I've watched "Veronica Guerin" and I liked it, but everyone says this one is better, or at least more realistic. After all, the second v.g. movie is a modern film made for an audience and not nessecarily as a biography).

    I guess I'll watch it soon!

    I am german and it's quite scary that my parents never heard of the massive drug and crime problems in ~1990 in dublin.

  • @TeppAwesome Many thanks for your comment and best of luck with your paper.

  • @TROLL2020 The film wasn't based on the IRA.

  • This film is actually brutal! Veronica Guerin with Cate Blanchett was miles better!

  • There are true heroes here on earth ... and Veronica G. was one amongst the top order. For those who have never seen 'When the Sky Falls', starring Joan Allen, it is a must. Better than 'Veronica Guerin' ... more gritty depth, and timely atmosphere ... and Sinead O'Connor's version of 'Full Circle' as the ending song is heart-wrenching to say the least. I have four videos in my library and Veronica's story takes up exactly two spaces. Long may the memories of her light and legacy survive.

  • @coomhola Many thanks for your comment. Glad you liked the film.

  • @76Countrymusic She was one of the best.

  • This is happening a lot right now in Mexico, especially Juarez. It's too scary and madening that not too many people are being held accountable.

  • Excelente pelicula esta mujer es un icono en Irlanda, justo homenaje a esta gran periodista y la musica ...bueno que les puedo decir escuchenla y uds. dicen

  • @TheGronda Muchos Gracias!

  • Many thanks for that. It's good to know she will not be forgotten.

  • i think this was better than the famous more recent veronica guerin movie more atmospheric

  • Many thanks. As one of the writers that warms my heart to hear.

  • do u know what john mckenzie is workin on next (if anything?)...good movie by the way!, preferred this to the cate blanchette one.

  • Not sure what he's working on at present. Many thanks for your comment.

    Ronan

  • No sequel, but another film made on same subjects with Cate Blanchette called Veronica Guerin. What is Movie Watcher?

  • Was this film ever released on DVD in the UK? I can't find it anywhere.

  • I think you might get it on Amazon or NetFlix. The film was released in Cinemas and I'm pretty sure on DVD too.

  • I really want to see this film. It's very close to my heart! RIP Veronica Guerin. Brave woman

  • I think you can see it on NetFlix and sometimes on Sky Movies. Many thanks for you comments.

    Ronan

  • she  teaches people to mind there own business

  • Hi! Do you know the actress Antoine Byrne who plays Mary in the movie? She is one of my favorite actresses!

  • Apologies for late response. I don't know how I missed your comment. I know of the actress but do not know her personally apart from meetin once or twice on set.

  • Great movie,saw it many times on sky.

  • Glad to be of service. I have to admit even though I was it's co writer, I too have watched it a few times on Sky.

  • Seen this in the cinema when came out and really enjoyed it.Patrick Bergin is quite good in it.

  • Glad you saw it on the big screen and enjoyed it. It's on Sky movies every now and then also.

  • I bought this movie on ebay...rented it from blockbuster a few yrs ago, it is a great film-check it out everyone. This one is better than the Cate Blanchett version!

  • Thanks my man. Glad you liked the film. You might like also Underworld which I wrote and directed with Don Baker and Michael McElhatton in it.

    Ronan Gallagher

  • Sorry for delayed response Fearghal but somehow I missed your reply to me. You are right. It was nearly ten years ago since this film was made. Are you still acting?

  • I am SOOOOOOO impressed. Yeah I knew you were talented. Untill now I had no clue how extensivly you already had used that talent.

  • Many thanks and hope you can spread the word.

    Ronan

    Ronan

  • ha ha good one about the ivor williams trailer ronan only back from a week in corfu going to try amazon/netflix during the week for the movie thanks for the comment and keep up the good work

  • Hope you enjoy. By the way its on tonight September 29th, 2008 3:30am on Sky Movies Action/Thriller. A bit late but you could set your recorder..

    Ronan

  • Very intense I will def watch the movie!

  • Many thanks. Hope you enjoy it.

    Ronan

  • looks interesting

  • Many thanks.

    Ronan

  • Really good trailer.

    If only movies were as good as the trailers..

  • Always best to stick to Ivor Williams when buying a trailer. They have the best suspension I'm told....

  • lol. Was leaning towards Indespension.....

  • And you'd be right to be cynical. This film is a fictional account of a true story and as such has many flaws. One thing is true though and that is that Veronica Guerin didn't believe that the IRA were involved in drugs.

  • i was told this film got banned in Ireland

    is there any trut in that???

    i remember seen the film in the cinema

    8 or 9 years ago in dublin city and loved it

    cant wait to see it again

  • Glad you liked it 40supple. No it was not banned here but did cause much controversy. You should be able to get it on netflix or Amazon.

    Ronan

  • excellent. you are a talented man ronan

  • Many thanks for watching. Hope you have a good time in Holland.

    Ronan

  • Excellent trailer!!! I remember reading the story about this woman..she really had some guts. The outcome is very sad, I would love to see the movie.

    Congrats to you RonanG!!!

  • Thanks Debbie. You may get the film on Amazon, and also I believe on Netflix.

    Ronan

    Ronan

  • 5☆5☆5☆5☆5☆tars from: Smi-ren-ger!...

  • Many thanks for the stellar response smirenger!

    Ronan

  • Spectacular. Looks like an action packed thriller.

    I'm inspired by your professionalism.

  • Many thanks Linda. Not as action packed as your YouTube gathering in New York!

    Ronan

  • Great work Ronan.

    I saw that other film on 'Veronica Guerin'.

    I'll have a look in Amazon to see if I can get this one as I thought it a very powerful story..

  • Many thanks Ray. Hope you like it.

    Ronan

  • Thanx for the most interesting info, Ronan. The world really seems to be a small place (if even Schumacher (impressed me with 'Falling down', lost me with 'Batman...') was ON this story, too...

    ;-)

  • Thanks for watching J. Worked on the film from the beginning. In fact Veronica Guerin was still alive when myself and co-writer Michael Sheridan started the script which was to be her story. I think the film is available on Netflix as well as Amazon and is sometimes shown on Sky Movies. There is another version directed by Joel Schumacher called 'Veronica Guerin' starring Cate Blanchett.

    Ronan

  • A really promising trailer;-)

    The most thrilling tales are not found in fiction but real life, I guess... no, I know.

    How long did You (co)work on the script if I may ask, Ronan?
