Above all, I think this movie nicely records the breakthrough of modern thinking in fighting drugs crime in Ireland. Unfortunately the murder of a reputed Irish lady-journalist had to happen to set off public indignation, and to get authorities moving.
Having been in Ireland many times, I clearly recognize the way things are done in this country. By the way, the shots of Dublin and its neighborhoods are fine, too.
However, I think the way Veronica Guerin is presented here less satisfactory. The drive and idealism the real Veronica Guerin must have had is not convincingly transmitted. It seems this movie-VG is just fighting Irish drugs crime for her own liking.
