Description:
Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Frances McDormand (Fargo) and Brian Cox (Rob Roy) confront danger and deception at every turn in this "chilling, explosive" (The New York Times)story set in strife-torn Northern Ireland. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Hidden Agenda is a "taut political thriller" (The Hollywood Reporter) that "makes the unthinkable seem all too plausible" (The Washington Post). American activists Paul Sullivan (Brad Dourif) and his fiancÃ(c)e Ingrid Jessner (McDormand) journey to Belfast to probe allegations of brutal human rights abuses by British security forces. When Paul is killed under mysterious circumstances, the official reports list him as an I.R.A. accomplice. But Ingrid and British policeman Paul Kerrigan (Cox) question the findings and begin to uncover a shocking high-level conspiracy. Now, with their safety in jeopardy, they must decide whether to risk everything to reveal the truth. *1996: Actress

Obviously when a movie sets out to be a thriller about Northern Ireland with British secret service people bugging, stalking, and shooting down folks in the street, alot of people will get angry with its politics-as can be seen from some of the reviews.
But it is an excellent thriller. Loach is a great director, and he really gets the pace of it right (i felt uncomfortable for the entire duration-a mark of a good thriller!) The ending was a little abrupt, but in retrospect probably ... Read More

Purports to take the audience behind the scenes at the highest levels of political intrigue, but the creators of this movie don't have the IQ or background to pull it off.
A quick-to-describe example of the whole is how they present the character whose murder kicks off the plot. We're told that he's a first-rate lawyer from the USA. But there's not the slightest hint of mental acuity in anything he does. We're left with just the writer's word for it.
And that's how ... Read More

I found this film one of the worst I have seen in quite some time, and watched it because I enjoyed the director's "The Wind That Shakes the Barley." It's an implausible conspiracy-theory flick with the troubles in Northern Ireland as the backdrop; the larger conspiracy-crime in question actually deals with Britain and the Thatcher government. The script is overly talky and sometimes sophomoric. A sample: "Ireland would be a lovely country except for the Irish." Shock and horror? No, a big yawn... ... Read More

[Take a look at the attack on me on the comments page. What can you say?] A well-acted, trite and totally bogus tale of those big, bad wolves, the British Army. It's a fair enough prospect on paper, but it's all been done before. Cox, as ever, is superb, but wasted, and it makes you wonder what the whole point is now of this second rate racism, outside of Boston or Dublin. Tired, and one for die-hard Anglophobes. What can you say?

This is a tell it like it was and unfortunately still is in Northern Irelan in this year 2007. It shows the power a a dominating goverment and how they will not let go and how so many suffer because of a political agenda, which is "HIDDEN------Slainte
