Veronica Guerin (2003)
A True Life Story Well Told
As an Irishman, I was an avid read of Veronica as she told us of the underbelly of crime in our country. Of course we knew some of it but Veronica Guerin exposed just how much of a problem we really had.
The film is even handed about the way she did things, pointing out her strength and weaknesses, and details in quite a compelling way the drive she had to do the things she did.
It is of course, not a documentry, and some of whats seen on screen is not completely true. That said, its not far off what really happened.
Watch it.
Hannibal (2001)
So disappointing
Big fan of the original, this is very poor. In my opinion - don't bother, rent the original instead.
The storyline is close enough to the book, but the book has more atmosphere and though I was also disappointed with the novel, it shines compared to this attempt.
I'll guarantee negotiations are on the way for a third installment whether Thomas Harris writes a book or not.
