May 11, 2017MICHAEL TAGGART MALONEY rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Andrea Riseborough (who played Michael Keaton's actress girlfriend in BIRDMAN) is terrific as Colette, part of a family of IRA soldiers. After a botched bombing attempt in the London tube she is turned by Clive Owen, who plays a British counter-intelligence agent. We've so many of these pictures -- the occupying Brits battle the ruthless Micks -- that they're easy to tune out. SHADOW DANCER is worth checking out because it plays on these familiar expectations that we have and features two turnabouts I really didn't see coming. Also, X-FILES' Gillian Anderson is brilliant as a ruthless Thatcheresque MI5 bureaucrat.
