A Prayer for the Dying

1987, Mike Hodges

4/5

Martin Fallon is an I.R.A. bomber who tries to blow up a troop truck, but instead kills a bus load of school children. He loses heart and quits the movement and goes to London trying to leave the U.K. and start a new life. The I.R.A. wants him back (he knows too much) and the local crime boss, Meehan, will only help him if he performs one last hit, on a rival crime boss. When Fallon does perform the hit, he is seen by a Catholic priest. He refuses to kill an innocent again, and must find a way to escape the police without killing the priest who can identify him.

If you like A Prayer for the Dying, you might also like Films About The Irish Republican Army, 1987 Films, 1980s British Films, and British Drama Films.
