In The Name Of The Father tells the true-life saga of Gerry Conlon. A petty thief in strife torn '70s Belfast, Gerry's main interests are getting drunk and partying, much to the dismay of his quiet, frail father, Giuseppe (Pete Postlethwaite). When Gerry angers the IRA, his father sends him to England, where his antics put him in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Innocent, but forced to confess to an act of savage terrorism, he is sentenced to life imprisonment as one of the 'Guildford Four'. An innocent Giuseppe is also arrested, and while behind bars, Gerry learns that his father's seeming frailty masks an unmatched inner strength and wisdom. Working with a fiercely dedicated lawyer, Gerry determines to prove his innocence, clear his father's name and expose the truth behind one of the most shameful legal events in recent history.

4 out of 10 Irish Craic-er :-)

Fantastic feel good movie, has an excellent cast. It touches on the relationship between father and son, brought up in the troubles of northern ireland, how each have different morals and expectations of each other, and how one situation can bring together an entire family. Moves along very well and doesnt have me looking at my watch once, Daniel day lewis was astounding as was his father (in the movie) both characthers really suck you into the movi, its hard not to get emotional! Fantastic 8/10
