    The legal stuff was accurate but Gerry never shared a cell with his Da for a start. The IRA guy was real, Paul Holmes from Ardoyne. He told the Brits that Conlon and Co were not involved and that his crowd down Guilford also.

    Paul a nice guy, drives a taxi.

    I'll probably reserve judgement on this until I see what DCI Provan has to say.

    Never seen the movie in all honesty but i've heard it was good. I'm afraid i've gone off movies based on real events, JFK was a great movie but full of inaccuracies/lies. Braveheart? Don't get me started. Fargo? Never happened. Munich? Pfft, ****, the book was much better.
