REVIEW: Paying with her life for telling it like it is

Abstract

Review of Veronica Guerin, starring Cate Blanchett, directed by Joel Schumacher, 2003. Awful as it is, this [film] will give you some idea of the shock and rage that convulsed Ireland over the brutal slaying of leading crime reporte Veronica Guerin, gunned down in a peaceful street outside Dublin for telling the truth about the sleazy and violent lives of the country's gangsters and drug barons.
