Based on a true story, about an Irishman (Daniel Day-Lewis)
who was incarcerated in a British prison for a terrorist bombing he did not commit.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Daniel Day-Lewis is briefly shown in a shirt and bikini
underpants; in the nude, although only his upper body and legs are shown; and he is also
shown with his hands over his crotch -- pubic hair and his behind are shown. In another
scene he thrusts his hips up at a mirror and briefly touches a vibrator. A couple of
kisses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A building is shown exploding, but no people are shown.
The police chase a crowd and a stand-off ensues with rock-throwing, shouts and gunfire,
but no blood. A man threatens to shoot Day-Lewis' kneecaps. During interrogation, the
police pull Day-Lewis' hair and ears and hit him in the face. A prison guard is set afire
and staggers around in an extended scene; once the flames are doused he convulses and
shakes on the floor, but his burns do not look horrific.
PROFANITY 8 - Approximately 75 F-words and a few anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - IRA and terrorism, corrupt law enforcement and police
brutality, prison life.
MESSAGE - Never give up the fight to clear your name.
