The Worst Film Ever

Simply A Masterpiece

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fantastic micro-budget Irish crime drama. Shockingly low IMDb rating, especially in contrast to its positive reviews. I guess the film-going public are STUPID (or don't understand the thick Irish accents, in all likelihood). 'Mean Streets' comparisons are apt in its depiction of working-class best friends tied up in petty crime, and the conflict of interest that begins to develop between them. It takes a turn for the weird with the introduction of a bisexual Nigerian drug dealer with a sword.However, its financial limitations show in the film's length of an hour and twelve minutes, credits included, as is a musical montage of pictures of Irish people. However, it's brilliant what Mark O'Connor did with so little. Review by Jack from Letterboxed

It actually could have been a half decent movie if it had actually gone with what it started with.Instead after about 1 hour it turned to the usual ridiculous RUBBISH we see about Ireland.Who makes this rubbish? are they self bent on portraying the Irish as STUPID violent drunks?It isn't "Trainspotting" that was done 30 years ago, it lacks originality, it lacks quality, it could have been so much more but the t@at that put it together seemed hell bent on trying to make the Irish look like some sort of trendy Gangster types, in the end he portrayed them as nothing more than drunken retards!Shame, a possibly good movie ruined by a twonk that wanted to pay some sad sort of "Homage" to better movies from 30 years ago!

I watched this film before reading any reviews, and was immediately suspicious after the first set piece of Jonny and the dustbin.The main character made an enviable mirror image and obviously studied the Jonny from Meanstreets Character in detail.The film I think would have reaped benefits from a more subtle influence rather than a direct ape.The main Character in particular compels empathy, and the bleak environment will seem all too familiar to UK Towns and Cities not just Irish. The dialect is difficult to comprehend at times, but is authentic and worth the effort to understand.All the same, I found the film compelling and enjoyed the characters.

As a Dubliner living away from home now for over 20 years, it is a great joy to watch such a realistic film of what its really like living in inner city Dublin and what the people are like with all the Irish talk, great characters.To the director and others involved in the movie I say well done and thanks for this gift. Foreigners wont get it and Irish living at home wont appreciate its realism as they are used to it. Only when you leave home, and miss it, can you appreciate just how great this film is. It had me laughing many times and would recommend it to anyone that wants to see real Dublin
