Hidden Agenda

Frances McDormand and Brian Cox star in this thriller from director Ken Loach. After American lawyer Paul Sullivan (Brad Dourif) is shot dead at a police roadblock, supposedly for not stopping, his girlfriend Ingrid (McDormand) comes to believe that he was murdered because he discovered sensitive information regarding Northern Ireland. To calm the growing outrage, the British Government assigns a top-ranking police inspector (Cox) to investigate, and together with Ingrid he uncovers a trail of corruption, cover-ups and violence.
