Review of In the Name of the Father (1993) by Hardeep P — 12 May 2012
A powerful intro and a stylish ending! The story is so well told and so realistic that you're bound to get involved in the conflict and the case. The direction is superb and the acting is superior. Daniel Day-Lewis is a true chameleon, he's flawless in adopting to Irish culture & accent in the same way he's unflinching as native American in Gangs of New York. His acting earned half a star extra from me for the movie!
With some heart-wrenching, tear-jerking and hatred intimidating one-liners, I just couldn't help but fall in love with the movie. I rate it higher than 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Highest recommendations!
A wee list of awesome one-liners:
"I'm a free man and I'm going out of the front door".
"They ought to take the word 'compassion' out of the english dictionary".
"You're not looking me in the eye when you're speaking to me".
"I don't understand your language. 'Justice.' 'Mercy.' 'Clemency.' I literally don't understand what those words mean.".
"From all the places the English tried to rule, they've been beaten in a war to be moved out.".
"I will fight on. In the name of the father and the truth".
