I have never heard of Veronica Guerin until this film came out. I though Cate Blanchett shined in her portrayal of Guerin. She brought a realism to the character that no one else could've done. The story was well developed and... Full review

Cate Blanchett has done it again - played someone you can't take your eyes off of, and not because she's a classic beauty but she's just a good actress and plays such intense roles. Here, she's the single-minded outraged Irish reporter... Full review
