Movie Haiku:Fact-based one-woman show. Blanchett’s terrific as an Irish journalist murdered in pursuit of Dublin drug lords. The investigation’s sketchy & the homelife too sweet, but what’s compelling here is the depiction of a driven personality -- her determination grows the more friends & foes alike urge her to back down.
