True story of the kidnapping of Irish champion racehorse, Shergar.
Filmed in 1998, barely released in 1999, Mickey Rourke reprises his Celtic accent from A Prayer for the Dying (1987)
He is somewhat impressive a small prominent role as Gavin O'Rourke, a vindictive member of the Irish republican army overseeing this botched horse kidnapping for a ransom they'll never see.
Ian Holm, David Warner are great, also Andrew Connolly, Tom Walsh
and wonderful Laura Murphy (reminding me of Maureen O'Sullivan) co-star.
