Review of Hennessy

Hennessy (1975)
8/10
interesting obscure film.
15 July 2022
I was glad to see this on a UK flm nostalgia channel (UK readers will know which one.

I may have seen it on tv previously but I am sure it has hardly been shown on British tv.

It is a good film with an amazing cast and anchored by a great performance by Rod Steiger.

I am sure the reason for its obscurity is that it is about the civil conflict in Northern Ireland.

Other reviewers compare this film to The Day Of The Jackal and there is a manhunt angle to the plot.

The plot is a good one,I give no plot spoilers.

Even if the Northern Irish angle doesn't interest a potential viewer they can enjoy the look of mid 1970s London with the funny old cars and the interesting locations.
