Bobby Sands was the IRA member who led the 1981 Long Kesh hunger strike as part of a campaign to achieve the status of political prisoners and not that of criminals. The first section of film deals with daily prison life, the 'dirty' protest and the violence, the second is a long discussion on the meaning of life with a sympathetic priest and the third depicts the last weeks and death of a man voluntarily dying of starvation.

Sheridan and Lewis team up once more in this rightly acclaimed story of the injustice suffered by the Guildford Four. Some liberties may well have been taken with Conlon and Hill's story, but it makes for riveting, gut-wrenching viewing. Absolutely brilliant dramatisation that should have won Oscars.

Johnny is a man on the run. After a bodged robbery on a mill leaves Johnny seriously injured, increasingly desperate and alone in the city, he decides to search out the only person he's ever loved. Meanwhile the police relentlessly close in. 'Odd Man Out' is a darkly atmospheric tale, full of intensity and tension, with a predictably stand out performance from James Mason.

The director of Sinn Fein veers from factualization to fiction in this attempt to toe the party line.

Good but not in the class of "In The Name Of The Father" or "Some Mothers' Sons".

Neil Jordan's Oscar winning thriller. Distinctly unusual very bleak and sure to become a classic. Split into two distinct sections, pre- and post-trauma, the atmosphere is superb. Electric performances from all the cast, and a vicious twist make this a must. British film at its best.
