Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Veronica Guerin (2003)

I think it would have been pretty difficult to mess this one up. It's a real-life story about an Irish journalist pursuing stories about the drug pushers in Dublin and getting banged about and, ultimately, murdered for her efforts. So, it's naturally interesting and extremely well-acted, but not as involving as it should be. When she's finally done in I didn't feel the loss I think I should have. Instead, it just felt inevitable.
