Entertainment Reviews:

Variety - 11/27/1985

"...[A] fast-paced thriller....Denholm Elliott gives an extraordinary performance....[The direction has] vigor and wit..."

Los Angeles Times - 11/21/1986

"...Electrifying....Terrifying in its political 'what ifs', keenly intelligent, played by one of those dream British casts and full of scenes that leave us limp from controlled tension, it's a beautiful job all around..."

Product Description:

DEFENSE OF THE REALM is a gripping thriller that stars Gabriel Byrne, Greta Scacchi, and Denholm Elliott. Nick Mullen (Byrne), a young reporter for a British daily newspaper, is beginning to drift into a cynical and bored routine when he suddenly stumbles across a political cover-up.
