Single mother Collette McVeigh is a Republican living in Belfast with her mother and hardliner IRA brothers. When she is arrested for her part in an aborted IRA bomb plot in London, an MI5 officer (Mac) offers her a choice: lose everything and go to prison for 25 years or return to Belfast to spy on her own family. With her son's life in her hands, Collette chooses to place her trust in Mac and return home, but when her brothers' secret operation is ambushed, suspicions of an informant are raised and Collette finds both herself and her family in grave danger.

I didn't expect for this film to be incredibly boring. It tried to depict events that are quite emotional, events that should evoke some feelings in the viewer, but in the end, it was a relatively short film that stretched into an unbelievable time horizon from a relative perspective. Northern Ireland is a place where there were conflicts and bloodshed. And it wasn't that long ago. Belfast was a dangerous city where both the terrorist organization IRA and the secret service MI5 operated. MI5 tried to suppress the influence of rebels and destroy individual cells, while the IRA has always desired independence. "Shadow Dancer" should then be a dramatic story about an IRA member becoming an informant for MI5 in order to protect her son. The problem is that the story is not as dramatic or emotional as one would expect. The actors play their roles, but everyone seems the same, there is a blanket of depression over everything, which maintains the atmosphere but doesn't really contribute to the overall tone of the film, which is, well, let's say debatable. There may be those who will enjoy this piece and consider it a unique thriller, but I still believe that similar films should have tension. "Shadow Dancer" is not suspenseful.
