Plot.
Fact-based story about Irish crime-investigating reporter Sinead Hamilton, who invaded the Irish underworld and attempted to expose the illegitimate activities she found. Hampered by the system, a police consort is ineffectual at aiding her despite trying to step outside of the normal bounds. Kevin McNally plays her husband, who hates her activities and the danger in which she places herself. Nonetheless, he grudgingly admires her persistence and encourages her investigation.

Details.
Wiki.
When the Sky Falls is a 2000 film à clef directed by John Mackenzie and starring Joan Allen. The narrative centres on reporter Veronica Guerin, who wrote about drug-related crime for the Sunday Independent, and her eventual murder.
The film received negative reviews, with criticism towards its directing, writing, script, and renaming of the characters, though Allen's performance was better received. Its lack of a better connection to Guerin's story was also widely panned. Another film based on the same story, entitled Veronica Guerin, was released in 2003, to far stronger reviews and had Cate Blanchett in the title role.
