What a pile of garbage
4 February 2006
What a pile of garbage, the really funny thing is that we have a noble tradition in Ireland in that Irish film critics are loathe to criticise anything about any movie which is Irish produced, The Irish film community is so small so any criticism is like shitting on your own doorstep. What can I say about this film. Firstly the accents are so awful. Kevin Spacey's accent is terrible and Linda Fiorentino and what about Helena Baxendale. Don't bother watching it. By the way the way, Martin Cahill who the film was based on was no handsome metrosexual like Mr Spacey, he was a ruthless, angry, thug, who roamed about Dublin in a poxy anorak and never drove flash cars. John Boorman's "The General" is a far better portrait of Mr Cahill. Give this movie a wide berth but be thankful that some Irish accountant and some wily investors got some tax relief because that is what the Irish film industry is, an excuse for some tax relief.
