Veronica Guerin succeeds in drawing the audience into the story precisely because it focuses so much on the protagonist. Cate Blanchett’s resplendent performance as Guerin seethes with passion and intensity in every scene, conveying with heart-wrenching emotion both Guerin’s incredible dedication and her fear in the midst of constant death threats by powerful drug-traffickers. It is Blanchett’s skillful portrayal of Guerin which compensates for certain weaknesses in direction, making the movie one worth the price of an admission ticket...
...What is CATE BLANCHETT, far right, looking so mad about? After all, she's the star of Ron Howard's chilling The Missing, his first film since he won an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind.

And designers like Marc Jacobs, in the absence of seismic shifts in fashion, are siphoning some adrenaline from Hollywood by putting celebrities in their ads: Cate Blanchett for Donna Karan, Adrien Brody for Ermenegildo Zegna, Christina Aguilera for Versace...
...Matrix and an angry green giant - all year long, pixel-pushing superheroes have been smashing their way across cinema screens. In Ireland, a quieter kind of crime fighter is pulling in the crowds: Cate Blanchett as Veronica Guerin, the Irish reporter who went head to head with Dublin's drug barons in the mid-'90s and paid for it with her life. Veronica Guerin - the second film about the iconic journalist - follows her as she digs for the source of the city's drug supply. Hardheaded and hungry for a story, Guerin is threatened, shot at and severely beaten before...
