Can the films ever get it right? in all the films ive seen on JTR the victims cast seem totally wrong, no missing teeth in sight!}, also if MJK left Ireland to live in Wales when very young surely she would have a Welsh accent?

Well, that's Hollywood for you, Loretta...
Unfortunately the movie business is selling film stars and the people depicted can't be too ugly or credible if you want to sell tickets.

All the best

The portrayal of the women in films is dreadful.The costumes are all wrong particularly.I wish someone would make a film from their perspective with accurate costumes and a fair resemblance where possible to the women themselves.Belinda

nope-- people can't be real if you want your movie to do well in the cinema's..
I mean, they're just denying the reality!
They give too romantic theories, and they make the victims, police officials and suspects look just too pretty.
