Review of The Molly Maguires

But - this isnt entertainment as its based upon an historical account. If you like a happy ending - dont bother. I had to laugh at the, clearly, Catholic Priest, who at no point refers to the Bible! He clearly has no knowledge (from the script) as to what "sin" is, which is referred to frequently. For those within the Molly Maguires they sadly open themselves up to an under cover police man - which is the central point of the story, thus its their undoing. It is hard to see a hardworking man/men being charged from broken tools or for using too many candles and no pay for being off work - yet the mine owner can afford his own police squad! Not sure why the film flopped at the box office given the historical account. I found it worth watching but the real villains (the mine owner) is the winner!
