As an Irish person im well used to seeing Irish movies being overhyped by Irish film industry and press. And this movie isn't an exception. The script and actions / behaviours of the characters in this movie are beyond implausible. Its like it was written be a 12 year old child. Some dramatic scenes really created a high degree of tension indicating what this movie could have been instead of what it is. Bits and pieces hold your attention but lose it with a ridiculous plot.

The irish film makers have knocked it off with this beauty! honest and brutal story. focusing on brotherly loyalty, friendship, crime, love and family history. i dont like giving too much away as far as plot and twists are concerned on here, and i wont on this. acting is on point, smashing soundtrack, fantastically written and directed. a con gets out of jail and on his release he gets baited into his old ways with old friends, living with his brother who is a police officer things go from bad to worse after a bungled bank job. this film made me feel all emotions, pity, loe, sadness and laughter. im astounded at the average score. give it a try , honest gritty and powerful

There have been several Irish movies in recent years that revolve around criminal activity and the lower working class and for the most part I have enjoyed them .

This is one of the average ones but it is made watchable by some stand out performances especially from John Connors , who I've seen before and continue to be impressed by.

It's the story of Dave Connolly who is a respected member of the Garda Síochána but his loyalty to the law gets tested by his ex-convict brother Joe who is in desperate need of his help.

The Irish accents take some getting used to and I can imagine that might put a few people off as the sound isn't great either .

It does have an amateurish feel about it at times and that might be seen as a good or a bad thing . It didn't particularly bother me.

The storyline isn't the most exciting either . I'm fact I was bored by it at times but the whole film is carried by the performances and that makes it worth watching .
