"The Shamrock Conspiracy" banks on the enormous appeal of its star, Edward Woodward, who was seen doing much better work in his old television series "The Equalizer". As directed by James Frawley, this movie feels that it might have been done as a pilot for a new series.
While the film is by no means horrible, it doesn't break new ground. We get a situation in which several people are being victimized by a serial killer. The retired Scotland Yard inspector, Edward Harrison, visiting his estranged daughter in New York, is drawn into the case that his future son-in-law is following as a press spokesman for the NYPD. Harrison's keen observation helps solve the case, as was expected.
As Harrison, Edward Woodward still shows he has the charisma that made him a favorite that he was. In minor roles we see Elizabeth Hurley, Jeffrey Nordling, Kim Coates and Daniel Van Bargen.
This is a film for fans of Mr. Woodward.
