See more Jul 31, 2011 too political!! and they used this as a story that was!!!!!! uninspiring See more carlo c @CarloCoello Jul 29, 2011 De los mimos productores de 'En El Nombre del Padre', esta cinta actuada y producida por Hellen Mirren cuenta la historia de un grupo de integrantes del IRA que a principios de los ochentas, bajo el régimen de la primer ministra Margaret Tatcher, fueron capturados, encarcelados y desmoralizados, al grado de que se debatieron entre la vida y la muerte en la lucha por sus ideales, pereciendo algunos, saliendo avante otros. Buena película y ver a Helen Mirren siempre es un deleite See more Jan 16, 2011 Like In the Name of the Father, SMS peaks into the lives of its political prisoners through the eyes of their family members outside the walls, the cameras taking a back seat to the drama until the well-executed street marches and funerals. Even during the emotional hunger strike sequence, directors Whelan and George maintain a respectful distance, refraining from the usual heavy-handedness applied to movies about The Troubles. While Lynch and O'Hara make plausible IRA heavyweights, Brit stalwart Mirren's accent sounds more Home Counties than Irish but doesn't that detract from a fine performance as mother of one of the hunger strikers. A bleak and heartfelt film but rousing in its own subtle way.
