The Crying Game (1992)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 112m
Director: Neil Jordan
Cast: Stephen Rea, Forest Whitaker, Jaye Davidson, Adrian Dunbar, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent
Synopsis:
An IRA recruit is implicated in the death of a British soldier he has helped kidnap and is driven to take refuge in London. There he looks up the soldier's girlfriend by means of a photo, but she is not all she seems.
Review:
Jordan bounced back onto form with this second Republican drama after Angel which became the movie of the moment with its midway reboot (not since Psycho had audiences received such a shock!) Indeed it is very much a movie of two halves, with characters coming and going, only for everything to come full circle at the end. It is a superlative piece of screenwriting.
