Hidden Agenda ★★½ 1990 (R) A human rights activist and an American lawyer uncover brutality and corruption among the British forces in Northern Ireland. Slow-paced but strong performances. The Northern Irish dialect is sometimes difficult to understand as are the machinations on the British police system. Generally worthwhile. 108m/C VHS, DVD, Wide.
