From NetFlix:

    Veronica Guerin (Cate Blanchett), a real-life reporter for
    Dublin’s Sunday Independent, delved into the netherworld
    of drug lords in pursuit of a great story — but her zeal
    put her life in grave danger. Gerard McSorley and Brenda
    Fricker co-star in this Joel Schumacher-directed drama based
    on events in the acclaimed Irish journalist’s life.

Lately I have lucked out and inadvertently chosen really good
films. Most films don’t deserve a rave. So if I seem to be
raving (mad) lately, it is for a reason.

“Veronica Guerin” is a powerful, tense, inspiring film. Cate
Blanchett is a warm, justifiably frightened, brave reporter.
This is a true story complete with vicious, unscrupulous drug
lords. It’s not a western but the bad guys are easy to spot.

The violence excludes children from watching. The tension
might not be easy for some viewers. I will refrain from
giving away the true ending which as usual in the real
world is a mixture of horror and triumph.

Keep a watchful eye. Colin Farrell gets a 15 second walk-on
discussion with Cate about soccer. By 2003 his career was
well established. I wonder why he would do the walk-on or if
they even paid him for it. The walk-in added nothing  to the film.

I won’t keep saying this but in this case:
DO NOT MISS THIS FILM!
