In the Name of the Father

**In the name of INNOCENCE !!**

Sometimes i say to myself **this can't happen to me** for the simple reason that it sounds really unfair to be happening..But watching a movie like this changes all perception of right and wrong, fair and unfair.. Only thing that can be fair in this world is your **HEART** !!

The film talks about the true story of the Quartet of Guildfor...

Unluckily, petty thief Gerry Conlan (Daniel Day Lewis) had been in nearby London at the time and so a combination of him splashing some unexplained cash back at home shortly thereafter and a Scotland Yard desperate for a conviction sees him and his friend Paul Hill (John Lynch) hauled from their Belfast homes and taken to London for what can only be described as a brutal interrogation. His father Guiseppe (Pete Postlethwaite) knows his so...
