Running dry of ideas for DVDs from video rental, we happened upon this one.
In general I like British comedies, and "Trainspotting" is one of my favorites. But some of them also fall flat for me. I will add "Perrier's Bounty" to that list of the latter.
Brendan Gleeson is Darren Perrier, an Irish mobster who takes his loans very seriously.
Cillian Murphy is Michael McCrea, who is a bit of a slacker and finds himself with just a few hours to get the cash to keep the goons off him.
Perhaps the best character is old faithful Jim Broadbent as Jim McCrea, Michael's dad.
As with most British and Irish movies of this sort, lots of 'blue' language is used, and is off-putting. But that is the genre. It was somewhat entertaining but mostly wasted time watching it.
