Cate Blanchett gives another wonderful performance as "Veronica Guerin," a 2003 film also featuring Ciarin Hinds, Brenda Fricker, Gerard McSorley, and a tiny part done by Colin Farrell.
This is based on the true story of an Irish reporter who was determined to expose the drug trade in Dublin, where streets were full of needles and children died. It takes her into some bad neighborhoods, but worse, it makes her and her family the target of very dangerous people. She is beaten, shot, threatened, and a gunshot comes through her window
Cate Blanchett is pretty, funny, and vivacious here as an upbeat, brave woman who risks her life to get an important story. Veronica Guerin actually was instrumental in inciting people to riot against the drug dealers, having laws changed, and bringing down the crime rate. Unfortunately, she had to die to do it.
