Review of Hennessy

Hennessy (1975)
7/10
Hollywood the troubles & 1970's
8 January 2024
Political thriller with the troubles in Ireland being the subject.

I assumed a dated piece where goodies vs baddies & you could work out what was going to happen.

Not the case, it feels the camera is filming events which lead up to the films subject.

Without comment the story unfolds and it had me gripped.

I did smile when Lee Remick's first appsarance - very Hollywood touched, dressed to the nines in 70's fashion with an Irish accent that would have been at home in a Maureen O'Hara & John Wayne type movie.

Glad I watched & enjoyed, Rod Steiger plays a blinding part, plus it's a good game to spot who's who with the supporting cast.
