DVD Reviews of Omagh
DVD Review: Omagh DVD is a must!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! Its very sad & moving! I couldnt take my eyes off the tv! Not too many movies will keep me watching the screen but this one is so good to watch! I highly recommend this one!~Youll be happy with it!DVD Review: Stunningly Realistic
Summary: 5 Stars
Omagh is a remarkable film that so realistically portrays the events surrounding the Omagh bombing that you can forget these people are actors. The tension that builds up to the actual attack is gripping and the reactions of the family members of the victims may be the most haunting images in the movie. As those who survived begin to ask tough questions of the authorities and form a group seeking justice against the Real IRA who committed the attack, Gerard McSorley gives the most credible and understated performance imaginable as the grieved father of a murdered son.
I have rarely seen a movie that captures a tragic historical episode with as much realism and class. A truly great film with some incredibly talented acting and directing. As a record of the suffering caused by an act of terrorism it has no equal.

Summary: 4 Stars
A fine movie with good acting.Hopefully the last great atrocity of the modern troubles.Be careful with simplistic views of blame as to the whole of the troubles:800 yrs. of blame to go around-of course initiated by British occupation/treachery.I'll never forget the sadness,if that's the right word,I felt seeing a baby bottle behind a taped off area of devastation shortly after the bombing.
Description of Omagh
A gripping and emotional examination of the aftermath of the 1998 Real IRA bombing that killed 29 people in Omagh Northern Ireland.2005 BAFTA Award for Best Single Drama2004 IFTA Award for Best Actor (Gerard McSorley)2004 IFTA Award for Best Irish Film2004 Best European Film Award2004 Discovery Award Winner at Toronto International Film FestivalSystem Requirements:Running Time: 106 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA/TRUE STORY Rating:?NR UPC:?829567027721 Manufacturer No:?SC0277DThe August 15, 1998 terrorist bombing in the Northern Ireland town of Omagh that killed 29 and injured hundreds of others is the raison d'etre for director Pete Travis's movie of the same name. But the bulk of this moving, beautifully-made film is devoted to the aftermath of the bombing, and American viewers still reeling from the atrocities of 9/11/01 and the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina may well find those events to be not merely compelling but hauntingly familiar. There's little suspense here; indeed, we know what's going to happen from the opening credits, when we see the bomb being made and planted in a car parked on the town's busy main street. Thereafter, people like Michael Gallagher (a fine, low key performance by Gerard McSorley) and his family must first deal with the excruciating agony of losing a loved one. But when weeks pass without a single arrest having been made, Gallagher and others form a support group and ask a simple question: Why? Instead of anything resembling justice, what they encounter are a host of incompetent, slow-reacting politicians and other officials offering little more than smarmy evasions. And that's not even the worst of it; in the most harrowing echo of 9/11 and Katrina, the film suggests that the folks in charge may even have ignored explicit warnings that the bomb (which was the work of a group calling itself "the real Irish Republican Army") was coming. Dramatic and moving without being the least bit sappy or sentimental, Omagh is a riveting, relevant piece of work. --Sam Graham
