Description

When single mother Collette McVeigh (Riseborough) is arrested for her part in an aborted IRA plot in London, an MI5 officer (Owen) offers her a choice: lose everything and go to prison or return to Belfast to spy on her own family. With her son’s life in her hands, Collette chooses to place her trust in MI5 and return home. When her brothers’ secret operation is ambushed, suspicions of an informant are raised and Collette finds both herself and her family in grave danger.

  • Great ending, but not enough....

    Unfortunately, the best part of this film was its stunning ending. Dialogue between characters was often difficult to understand because they seemed to be mumbling. I have viewed several films with actors of Irish descent or speaking with an Irish accident with no difficulty understanding the dialogue. This was not the case in this film. On a positive note, Clive Owen gave a decent performance.

    The movie is slow and the Irish dialect is hard to understand for an American. They mumble a lot. I turned on closed captioning/subtitles.

  • Decent Movie

    Shadow Dancer is worth watching. It's one of those movies you'd be better off if you read about before seeing…at least you will get the context & background. First part of movie just shows her riding train…the viewer has no idea what is happening. The lead characters give us true & honest portrayals of their characters. Just wish there would have been a little more explaining as to what was going on: thus why I recommend reading up on the film first before viewing.

  • Another Stupid movie

    There is nothing in this movie that is not boring. Please turn your Tv on instead. Very boring, bad story and not worthy.

  • Simply awful

    There are legitimate reasons for the price of these movies. I do not understand why people do not "get" that. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It is worth the ten bucks and still is cheaper than going to the theater!

  • Great Plot - Dialogue is hard to hear.

    Great plot. Fair acting. For my american ear, it was hard to pick up the quiet sometimes mumbled Irish and English accents. We finally had to turn on closed captioning which detracted from the experience.
