Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
I can no longer stomach the premise in so many Anglo-American crime pictures that mavericks are admirable simply because they're mavericks
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
A movie that says more about the rebellious Irish psyche than a heap of overtly political pictures.
– Derek Elley,

fresh:
All the performances are impressive, but Gleeson and Voight are especially memorable, lending an almost tragic air of inexorability to Cahill and Kenny's cat-and-mouse games.

Gleeson is one of those rare actors who has an instinctive rapport with the audience from the moment he appears on-screen.
