Storyline
Based on a true story, this is about the Irish journalist Veronica Guerin (Cate Blanchett), a reporter for The Sunday Independent, who exposed some of Dublin's most powerful crime barons and drug lords in 1996. But later that year she was gunned down by assasins hired by the same criminal drug lords she exposed. Written by Andreas Furumo <andreas.furumo@bredband.net>

Trivia
The Irish Film Censor, who passed the film with a 15PG (now defunct, but equal to 15A) certificate, acknowledged on the official Film Censor website, that had this film been fiction, or of any other plot source than it was, it would probably have received an 18 certificate. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Veronica Guerin is telling Tattooed Boy about Eric Cantona she says his birthday is 26 May 1966. It is in fact 24 May 1966. See more »Quotes
Veronica Guerin: It'll be worse for me, and it'll be worse for journalism or any journalist if they were to be intimidated, then that means they've won, and they're not going to win.See more »
