Better than average bio-pic on Ireland's "Big Fella." Julia Roberts is miscast as Collins' love interest. She couldn't manage an Irish accent if her life depended upon it. An extremely complicated story is streamlined and simplified so most Americans can understand the history of this tragic and beautiful country. Far better than the average Hollywood studio film interpretation of Ireland's "troubles." Think of it as an Irish version of "Lawrence of Arabia."

A deceased relative of mine used to send Bernadette Devlin $500 a month for most of his life. I only mention this to illustrate what a pro-Free Ireland atmosphere I lived in, even in America. While neither my pocketbook, nor perhaps sentiments, extend to quite that level, you can see how easy it would've been to disappoint me. When Michael Collins first appeared in the local theatre, I stayed literally all day. Even if you have no such background, caring nothing for history or human rights, this is a great movie. Script, direction, casting/acting all superb. Way too violent for youngsters. Before you get on your high horse about that, be aware the violence is not gratuitous. Did the American colonies just send Britain a polite letter requesting independence and get a gracious okay in reply? If you can stomach Mel Gibson's Patriot movie - which I also loved - then the movie Michael Collins should get the same consideration. Liam Neeson is terribly easy on the eyes, too.Read full review
MICHAEL COLLINS is a wonderful, historical movie about the Irish fighting for THEIR Independence. It is really an all-star cast. The movie is rare now, so snatch it up when you can find it. This movie is now out of print. I am definitely adding this to my St. Patrick's Day collection; the movie, MICHAEL COLLINS, will help explain to my grandchildren why the Irish are often referred to as the ORANGE and the GREEN. ONE TIP FOR THE BUYERS, this DVD is two-sided.... if it seems the movie is in the middle, when you begin the story--flip the DVD over and begin with the other side. The movie is too long for one side of the DVD (it IS accurately labeled, actually, if I had just paid attention and looked!!)

A great movie on Michael Collins and his role at the time, from 1916 to his death in August 1922. The only problem is tuning your ear to understand the heavy accents.
