Cracking ensemble comedy drama set on the mean streets of contemporary Dublin. Colin Farrell is the petty crook out to pull a career-topping scam, Colm Meaney is the cop on the case, and there’s fine support from Shirley Henderson, Cillian Murphy and Kelly Macdonald. Farrell’s a ball of manic fury, but it’s Meaney?who appears to believe he’s living in some US TV cop show from the ’70s?who steals the film.
