If you want to see how biased the Irish film industry is then read the old reviews for this movie! Not one homegrown critic dared criticise it. Why? Because to criticise this movie was to criticise the person herself. It's no coincidence that the more interesting version When the sky falls has disappeared and is not available here on DVD. Because everyone decided that the Veronica Guerin movie was going to win Oscars before it even got made. There's nothing wrong with the movie except it looks more like made-for-TV than an interesting feature. Also, it gives the impression that she was too pushy and crossed the line when investigating the criminals. Also, it gets tedious when they have to explain who every character is - why didn't they just use continuity titles? Glossy, TV-crime drama, mediocre, and tries to be controversial by suggesting that Gilligan had Cahill killed.
