In the Name of the Father Official Trailer #1 – Daniel Day-Lewis Movie (1993) HD
10 jan. 2012
I trusted Daniel Day-Lewis & he didn’t disappoint…what a movie… Fine cast, Great performances…Solid Movie about Justice.
This movie is outstanding. Hard at first, but otherwise thumbs up. Movie posters and home media covers made it look like Sir Daniel is looking straight at you. It makes me want to say “Stop staring at me.”
Still in my top 20 of all time brilliant films . .and one of Pete Postlthwaite’s finest roles.
Universal in the name of the father is absolutely fantastic. Daniel day Lewis as Gerry conlin really captured the story very well. Jim sharidan is one of my favorite directors . This definitely deserves to be in theaters again .
Saw numerous clips from the movie. Looked like a great movie. Bought it and was not disappointed. Great movie, performances and soundtrack. Sad to know there are people that just want a conviction to feel good instead of getting the right person/people
Astonishing film, makes me realise just some of the reasons the Irish and Scottish have for hating the English
A brilliant film, I saw it in the cinemas on release, and have watched it a dozen more times on VHS/DVD and BR since…..
The best movie I have seen in my life. Just amazing !!!!
SUCH A GREAT TRUE STORY 🙂 🙂 LONG LIVE EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU : ) 🙂
Little makes me cry while watching movies but Pete Postlewaithe as Giuseppe, is a rare exception
Sheds a light and an interspective on what my Great GrandMum had tried to paint the picture of that time. Whenever I see this film and hear the sound track it reminds me of her.
I first watched this film when In 96,or maby 97.still watch if now, 2021.and still makes me cry
. Brilliant film.


I heard every one who knew Gery Conlin knew he couldn’t successfully pick his nose let alone build a bomb, so they were really outraged
Yes, they were freed from prison after 15 years, but they had a hard time adjusting to normal life after that. Nobody was sent to jail for the wrong convictions but I hope everyone involved in that especially the detectives get their karma. If some of them are dead I hope they are burning in hell, what they did was as bad as killing someone.
I’m Irish and I don’t hate any nationality. I don’t hate. It was dreadful beyond belief but you shouldn’t hate.
Why do trailers date so much quicker than the films themselves
I can’t believe the cops that pinned all that that on them got acquitted. They perverted justice, lied, beat suspects and picked them simply because they were around. The bastards X(
One of the best films I have ever seen – this trailer is crap.
“get your hands off me, I’m. going out the front door with Gerry”
I was gonna watch it until I saw Emma Thompson. DDL is still the man.
Brilliant movie,however it’s a shame they got the incorrect men
Surprised the British Government didn’t try and ban this movie
“Three British police officers — Thomas Style, John Donaldson and Vernon Attwell — were charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, but each was found not guilty.”———Wikipedia WTF??!!
This movie has such a horrible title, and a horrible trailer, but damn the movie is good.
I think Britishers should make a similar movie on red Indians and what Americans did to them
Good film at all
there is holes in this story that i dont buy. formostly the idea a high class working girls key fell on the floor right in frount of them just as she walking out the place and thay couldnt get her attension, then thay deside to go in there to you know just to have a lark about and thay just so happen to find 700 pounds in there… 700 pounds at that time would be proberly be round 10 grand today. this is there story of how thay came to have that kind of cash on them…? no sorry i dont buy it. gose to guilford befor the bombing sayings hes pennyless, leaves after the bombing with what would now be 10,000.

A. O. Scott looks at Jim Sheridan’s 1993 drama about terrorism and injustice.
One of the finest performances by Pete Postlethwaite. Rest in peace, Obadiah.
Daniel Day Lewis is brilliant in this film! What a great actor!
this film is the best movie I’ve seen ever. every time I watch it the hair on back of my neck stand up.wow A Must Watch Film 10/10 the greatest
The scene where the priest comes and tells him his father has passed and he just says this really dignified ‘Thank you’, always has me in tears.
best movie I have ever seen. I went to the movie in Dublin in Feb 1994 while backpacking in Ireland.
An incredible work of art in the movies history. It deserved to be more awarded than it was.
One of the great underappreciated movies of the ’90s – it was very well received at the time but seems to have fallen through the cracks since, maybe because it’s so straightforward, and a description makes it sound indistinguishable from a lot of other well-intentioned, mediocre soapbox movies. Scott does a good job here of describing what makes it special. (Although it’s worth noting that the portrayal of the father-son relationship is largely fictional embellishment.)
This movie and “the boxer” are two great great movies that should be seen
That’s a tough movie but worth watching it for the actors’ excellence.
Dit zal ik nooit vergeten , Gewoon echt gebeurd , en gene zever .
Daniel Day Lewis is something else on this film. Plus that bgm is so amazing. Sinead O’Conner.
Things are not different because of IRA violence. Things are different because the British government introduced reforms. They began doing this before the IRA campaign of violence began. We now have a power-sharing government because the IRA ended violence and decided to use peaceful means.
@DeanSinnott Dean, I was born in Liverpool and grew up in Dublin, still here today. I for one am against the British presence in the North, But you have to look at the UDP/UVF and all of the other so called Ulster asswipes who have, in cahoots with the English Conservatives kept Ireland in partition- it serves the Ulster elite to hold dominion- it isn’t the English in the North but the children of a plantation, that is the sadness of history, Erin Go braith
Sinn Fein helped changed the political vacuum that existed in the occupied six counties after Stormont was proroqued. Things are different in the North now than they were when the Troubles began.
There was a bombing campaign in London where a multitude of IRA bombs were set off where people were killed so the the police were under massive pressure to get a collar.Coupled with the prejudism of virtually all races and nationalities at the time with the IRA bombing campaign in London these innocent irish people were the one of the most unfortunate victims.There were innocent english people given substantail sentences aswell at that time.
@MrNinjaSpartan i know your comment was 2 years ago, but for what you said about if Northern Ireland didn’t want to be British in the first place there wouldn’t be a Northern Ireland, that is completely wrong, Northern Ireland is still part of the British empire because when Michael Collins fought for independence, the closest compromise he would get is for the British to keep the 6 counties, many were angry with this decision but it went ahead, watch the film Michael Collins on YouTube and see.
“At that time 6 counties were being occupied and repressed”… The IRA were defending Ireland”. What’s all this “at the time” business. NI is still part of the UK. Nothing has changed. If it was occupied and repressed before it must be occupied and repressed now. Sinn fein are now collaborators according to your logic!
Perhaps I may be missing somehing, but this movie has nothing whatsoever to do with the book of the same name, written by A J Quinnell
I’d recommend you look up what terrorism is; judging from your comment, you don’t seem to have a clue. Needless to say, whether or not you consider it defending Ireland has nothing to do with whether or not it was terrorism.
Top film Bad reviewer IRA not terrorists but freedom fighters Film needed more IRISH CATHOLIC actors
Katiemcshane 16 what has that got to do with the film Gerry an guiseppe Colon was blamed for a crime they didn’t do us irish do not want the Brits in our beautiful country r be apart of it u do not live here so u do not know nothing about Ireland?
Terrorism?
Like you massacred the loyalists
lets not forget the innocent people murdered for just standing In a pub having a drink as well!!would anyone trust any government in any country??i wouldn’t…..everyone barks on about “we hate the Brits bullshit” but isn’t that just hate and wasn’t the lawyer who fought for these people a Brit???do you hate her??? I’m from a protestant northern Irish family but I’ve catholic friends!!its about time people moved out of the dark ages into 2011??????????????? wise up!!!!!
