MOVIE REVIEW
Pierce Brosnan puts his spy suit aside for a change and takes a chance with the family drama Evelyn, based on the true story of Irish father Desmond Doyle who lost his children to the state's orphanage system. The result is a decent drama that never reaches anything momentous but never fails to entertain, either.Read our Evelyn movie review »
