Review of Omagh

Omagh (2004 TV Movie)
5/10
Omaghod
8 October 2005
Another one of these "Those IRA people were such heartless bastards!" movies the Irish like to make every couple years or so just to annoy people, Omagh explores one father's quest to Bring The IRA To Justice when his son, along with scores of other people, are blown up in Omagh's city square. He rather reluctantly chooses to be the leader of a group of people looking for justice, then becomes quite obsessed by it. And before you can answer the bonus question boys and girls, YES! His home life does suffer from it! So as you can see, this is highly formulatic and easily predictable stuff here, made to get people's rabbles roused. Not half as good as the amazing Bloody Sunday movie that was made a few years back, Omagh hardly veers beyond Irish TV Movie Of The Week.
