Michael Collins
DramaThrillerWar133 min
In 1920s Ireland, Michael Collins becomes a central force in the fight to break from British rule, then finds himself condemned by former allies when the creation of the Irish Free State falls short of a fully independent republic. Liam Neeson is Collins, seen as both underground strategist and public negotiator as the independence movement shifts from armed conflict to bitter political division. Around him, Aidan Quinn and Julia Roberts figure into the loyalties and fractures that shape his rise. Neil Jordan’s film tracks the collision of revolution, state-building, and personal allegiance against a country remaking itself.
