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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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?
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
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.
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.

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.

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?
