Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

woodenchin Fantastic micro-budget Irish crime drama. Shockingly low IMDb rating, especially in contrast to its positive reviews. I guess the film-going public are STUPID (or don't understand the thick Irish accents, in all likelihood). 'Mean Streets' comparisons are apt in its depiction of working-class best friends tied up in petty crime, and the conflict of interest that begins to develop between them. It takes a turn for the weird with the introduction of a bisexual Nigerian drug dealer with a sword.However, its financial limitations show in the film's length of an hour and twelve minutes, credits included, as is a musical montage of pictures of Irish people. However, it's brilliant what Mark O'Connor did with so little. Review by Jack from Letterboxed

Perry Bee I really tried watching this, but I could not understand most of the dialect, sure the swear words sounded like English, but most times it sounded like I was watching a foreign film. sort of sounded like the Swedish chef from the Muppet Show! But not funny at all.It really needed English sub titles, as I lost what this mess of film was all about with in 5 minutes! But if you like watching a bunch of toothless not so pleasing to eye want to be actors, and don't forget that drink before hand then yeah I could see the appeal if you were Irish.Do your self a favor, do get that whiskey, but don't waste your time and money on this paddy film.A solid 1 out of 10!

colin-johnson150 I watched this film before reading any reviews, and was immediately suspicious after the first set piece of Jonny and the dustbin.The main character made an enviable mirror image and obviously studied the Jonny from Meanstreets Character in detail.The film I think would have reaped benefits from a more subtle influence rather than a direct ape.The main Character in particular compels empathy, and the bleak environment will seem all too familiar to UK Towns and Cities not just Irish. The dialect is difficult to comprehend at times, but is authentic and worth the effort to understand.All the same, I found the film compelling and enjoyed the characters.

motivator52 Well i've been a big contributor to the IMDb forum for a few years now and finally i get to comment on a film directed by my brother Mark.I may be a little biased but Mark has done a great job here, it's very gritty and realistic - it makes the commercial 'gangster' films like the general and intermission seem real artificial because you can tell with those films that they are actors.Mark used almost all non-actors who lived in those areas of the inner city we rarely see on the big screen. Mark's film entered the IFI cinema in Dublin two days ago and it will run for another 5 days.It will then be decided if it moves to the multiplexes. Check it out, it's great.
