Watch Cal

The film stars John Lynch as the title character, an Irish Republican Army member who becomes involved with the wife of a man whose murder he was indirectly involved in. Co-star Helen Mirren won the Best Actress award at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival for her role in the film, which also features an original musical score composed by Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler.
