Daniel Day Lewis gave an excellent performance. Worth watching

Moving, heartbreaking, raw and above all full of wonderful performances, especially that of Pete Postlethwaite, it is impossible not to feel helpless with this film, unfortunately legal errors like these happened and will continue to happen, when you realize that it is a real case it is when you feel worst In the name of the father will always be on my list of favorite movies, I could never get tired of watching it.
