    It gets better and funnier each time I watch this film. Understated and clever, oh, and hilarious at times.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    Good acting, very funny at times, story was very interesting. Definitely would say its a very British/Irish film. At first its tough to understand what they are saying and some of the jokes are likely missed because of it, but watchable if you know a little British slang. Don Cheadle was not as involved as I thought he would be, but when he was there the English accent was a breathe of fresh air and his character accounted for a good amount of the humor.

    Brendan Gleeson from “Banshees of Inisherin” was great! Don Cheadle from the MCU was good too. The movie was about cops in Ireland taking down criminals. This was a nice comedy and I enjoyed the scenes of Ireland.

    Short, funny, and interesting throughout. A very enjoyable movie.
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    If you can bear the incessant and mostly unnecessary foul language, it really is a quite a good film. Superb acting from all the cast, sometimes quite poignant, other times quite funny, certainly watchable.

    Refreshing, original (!!), special kind of humour, great photography and colours. A sort of more refined Guy Ritchie kind of movie.
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Genetically-shared Ireland’s localized chronicles become active through a distinctively tonal, humorously subversive spin of the buddy cop genre, benefitting from the main duo’s ethical clashes to pull off how well-written and -performed this enjoyable case is. (B)

    What a quirky, original movie with interesting characters. Fun to watch. I highly recommend it.

    Droll sense of humor with very authentic voices of all in plot and characters.plus slight mock art film markers and Cheadle and Gleeson are brilliant

    Smashing, loved it. The end gets a little drawn out, still a great watch!
