Holy CRAP!! I would watch that shit Edie Sedgewick movie before I watched this thing again. I cannot believe how bad this movie was. And it has such a great cast! Cillian Murphy is the guy who owes the loan shark, Brendan Gleesan is Perrier (loan shark), and Gabriel Byrne narrates. Jim Broadbent plays the dad, but he sucked! His Irish accent is really bad. Each one of these guys is carrying a gun; each is hit in the head with a baseball bat or a wrench, but gets back up.
Cillian's character commits robbery to get the money to pay the loan shark, gets betrayed, his best friend shoots one of Perrier's guys, and then they're on the run. There is non-stop shooting and wrench swinging. I think this movie was going for a Guy Ritchie anarchy type feel, but you need humor to pull that kind of movie off. This movie is just violent and NASTY. Nothing works. Rent a Guy Ritchie film, or a Tarantino film, or In Bruges, or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Pass on this one.
The final straw? The movie is full of huge fighting dogs. A couple get shot, but the dogs get revenge. Perrier meets a bad end. Who needs to watch (or in this case - hear) crap like that?
