Michael Collins
1996 · Movie · 132 min. · Ireland
Starting with Ireland's bloody Easter Rebellion of 1916 and ending with his untimely death, this epic film tells the charged story of Michael "Mickey" Collins. An IRA founder whose innovative guerrilla tactics succeeded in bringing freedom from British rule, Collins remains a controversial but much respected political figure, who is skillfully embodied in the film by Liam Neeson. Aidan Quinn plays his longtime friend Harry, and Julia Roberts, sporting a nice brogue and lovely period costumes, is Katie, the woman they both love.
