Fun movie. Didn't expect so much meta crime movie stuff but it was great. Gotta admit though I didn't understand 50% of the words spoken in this thing. The accents man oh man the accents. That's all my fault though.
Different enough with some funny dialogue. The ending was good too.
Abrasive complex characters, with good banter between the leads, as well as good banter between the antagonists. Interesting themes of nihilism.
"I'm Irish sir. Racism is part of my culture."
If you like In Bruges, then this movie is for you. Brendan Gleeson is brilliant and I love the raw and quirky interaction between him and Don Cheadle. I guess the word I am looking for to describe this film is refreshing.
Great movie ,guaranteed not to disappoint
Excellent film that has very dry humour.
Probably won't resonate very well with American audiences but it is extremely funny.
The racist comments and slurs seem to be very indicative of the area and the culture that the film is c entered around.
How the hell did this film get such high ratings? (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes) Seriously it's not even that funny.
Every once in a while Brendan Gleeson looked like Benny Hill.
A fun companion piece to In Bruges, though clearly less inspired. It leans so hard on the elements it’s borrowing from American genre films that the film quickly becomes predictable. Still, the visually striking cinematography and Irish wit manage to breathe some life into these tropes. Brendan Gleeson is excellent (almost playing the exact opposite of his character from In Bruges), Don Cheadle is serviceable because I don’t entirely buy him as this upper class, posh kind of guy. Their chemistry is pretty decent, though the film could’ve used more scenes of the two of them interacting. I also don’t quite get the choice to go with a villain team when a single antagonist would’ve sufficed (and probably would’ve been more defined). I don’t want to sound too negative, because this is a good black comedy, but it just feels like a lesser Martin McDonagh film. Then I figured out it was in fact his older brother who wrote and directed this.
6.5/10
I think I have a soft spot for Irish crime comedies tbh
Really wanted to enjoy this one...Boyle and Don was enough to make me want to see this movie... there´s some good and hilarious moments between the two but that was it, the plot itself didn't grab my attention; didn't love up to both of the actors IMO. 6/10
this is really funny i really enjoyed it, great for the pc time too
Didn't get into it the first time but at the second try I found it really funny
liked it a lot, Gleeson and Cheadle are awsome together.

Great little film all around. Acting is top notch, characters are great, super funny at times. Could be a Cohen Brothers movie. If you like dark humor and a bit of crassness you’ll be like a pig in… I’ve watched it three times and plan on watching it many more.
