Two brothers set off bombs at the city marathon and the day becomes a bloody mess. A woman called Erin, who was running sees it all happen and finds her boyfriend Jeff in the wreckage. A tough watch about the human cost of violence and the resilience needed to come back from it. Superb acting from Tatiana Maslany & Jake Gyllenhaal will keep you going through the horror.
Broken Flowers Saturday 20/3 TG4 @ 11.30pm Just after Don has had his heart broken, a blast from the past forces him out of his slump and on a roadtrip across America to engage with a part of his life he didn't even realise existed.

Bill Murray, Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange and Jeffrey Wright all work well together.
