I recently tried to rent this movie at blockbuster but (like most good movies) they didn't have it :(

is this worth buying? the trailer makes it look amazing and DDL is fantastic

I would say so, but if you live in the U.K it's on tomorrow night at 10.00 on itv3 so you could watch it then.

Definitely worth watching and buying or try and rent it from somewhere. My fave scene has to be when the REAL BOMBER enters prison- all the other convicts know and realise he is the real deal – what a scene!

was that really necessary?

We need to go back to the 70's...when movies were good.

Great film, you definately should buy this one. DDL performance was flawless and the film itself is great.

"In the Name of the Father" is definitely worth buying! The cast is awesome! It's one of the most underrated movies in my opinion. Most people my age (college) haven't seen this movie. It's starting to get a little more recognition after Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in "There Will Be Blood." I bought my copy off Amazon for cheap. Good luck and enjoy it. Peace!

I bought it without seeing it first, and instantly loved it! I saw the trailer online beforehand though. It's definitely worth the money.

You can watch it free on imdb.com (the link is at the top of the main page for the movie). [I think it is restricted to US viewers]

Definitely buy it! It's my second favorite movie from 1993 (second only to Schindler's List). Be forewarned that this is a barebones DVD. Why a better special edition hasn't been made is beyond me.

I bought this just because DDL was there in it.

And i ended up watching the only movie that ever made me cry.

UNBELIEVABLY MOVING & FANTASTIC!
