The soundtrack in the last courtroom scene and the performances of several leading actors are all very tense, and the instant explosion of acting skills is a climax. Although the acting skills of several actors are the same as before, the director has a solid grasp of the rhythm of the film. As a biographical film, with such a good story frame and cast, it is really unreasonable to make it like this. However, it is obviously biased to comment on this film at the level of film and television art, and even the significance of this film is not limited to this. The film is more about fully revealing human nature and introspection after uncovering the darkest page of the country’s judiciary. The courage and determination represented in it are what we need to admire and pursue.

  • Gerry Conlon: That was a good day's work, McAndrew. A good day's work.

    Joe McAndrew: Get away from me.

    Gerry Conlon: You're not looking me in the eye when you're speaking to me. You see, I know how to look at people without blinking as well. In all my god-forsaken life I have never known what it was like to want to kill somebody until now. You're a brave man, Joe. A brave man.
