Omagh

Another Troubles movie this one is a TV-style account of the infamous Omagh bombing where 31 people died. Lots of hand-held camerawork and dozens of actors in the frame for most scenes. Like most 'technical films' you end up looking at the story rather than getting involved. The second ½ is better as the reason why no-one is charged for the killings gets revealed. The cover up is described and the general air of the film is that the relatives are out of their depth when up against the Governments. Couldn't believe the way everyone walks out in front of the traffic at the start of the movie? Probably true but it looked strange. Also, the usual cast appear that we've seen in every second Irish film. Have we no other actors, indeed?
