DIVORCING JACK (1998)

Cast

Plot

With a highly original angle on "the troubles", this adaptation of a novel by Colin Bateman is a powerful cocktail of political thriller, domestic drama and devilishly dark comedy. David Thewliss (Naked, Seven Years in Tibet) plays a cynical, hard-drinking jounalist who gets involved in a web of intrigue when his one night stand winds up dead. Suddenly the shady world of gangsters and dodgy politicians he inhabits starts closing in on him. Brutal and worryingly topical, with a brilliant comic turn from Rachel Griffiths as a nun-o-gram.
