I honestly didn't think of bumping into an underrated Irish film like this and be so glad to have watched it! It's pretty well done with Shawn Hatosy putting on a thick Dublin Irish accent and Danny Dyer as the lover was pretty brilliant too. When they kissed, it just melted your heart with warm, so rosemantic haha!
I never heard of the word "Borstal" before as a youth detention centre until I watched this movie just yesterday! Funny how you live in Ireland from the day you were born, you never really get to hear the ol Irish words!
Its sad that the real Brendan Behan died at such a young age at 41, it's just remarkable that he had only a short life to live! Poor fella shouldn't have been killing himself with the drink and try to look after his diabetes but unfortunately, there wasn't much to be done as it was already too late for him! RIP
Brilliant movie, actors and story, 9/10 it deserves!
