Fantasic film

'Some Mother's Son' is one of the best movies I have seen in quite a while. Helen Mirren plays Kathleen Quinlin, a mother of a man who is secretly in the IRA. When he is imprisioned for murder Mirren finds her self torn between her hate towards the IRA and supporting her son. When the IRA prisoners start a hunger strike Mirren will do what ever nessary to save her son.

These days it's hard to find a movie that both based on a true story and interesting to watch. I really enjoyed this movie and was really surprised that I never heard about this hunger strike that took the lives of ten men between the ages of 22 and 30.

Everything about this movie is perfect, but the best part is the performance given by Helen Mirren.
