Review of In the Name of the Father (1993) by Paul B — 29 Oct 2014
In the Name of the Father has quite a few narrative flaws, such as an extremely poor sense of time progression as it makes bounds between years within the blink of an eye, character motives changing on a whim, and a few bizarre logical leaps, but very much like with all of his other movies, Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a performance strong enough to turn this rather average, merely competent movie into something compelling.
It's an interesting true story of injustice, though it's a story that seriously demanded a more disciplined and more thought provoking film.
