Wow this was pretty good but you forgot to do anything interesting or purposeful with the cinematography, forgot to add any depth to almost every character, forgot to be any way subtle and also, actually, now that I think about it, you forgot to make it good.
It seems as though Mos Eisley spaceport was based on Ireland. The most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the galaxy.
There's a scene where a Garda delivers some exposition, finishes the exposition and the says "anyway" and starts talking about the previous scene. Subtly 101. Just have a random, out of place piece of dialogue where the character plants info that wi come up later and the have him say "anyway"…
Honestly pretty suprised on how good it was. From the poster and trailers it didn't seem interesting but I was pleasantly surprised at the end result. Further proof that Irish cinema is some of the best cinema!
Score: 7.5/10
It's rare when I'm particularly proud to be from Offaly, but director Paddy Slattery of the Faithful County delivers with Broken Law a straightforward but utterly thrilling little crime drama, brimming with great performances across the board.
Telling the story of a Garda and his delinquent brother just released from prison (played by Tristan Heanue and Graham Earley respectively), it toes the line between it's more subtextual threads and its surface-level story with aplomb. This is in no small part helped by the phenomenal chemistry between the two actors, who bring a terrific sense of authenticity to the brotherly relationship. I'd be surprised if they weren't actually improvising occasionally, such is the fluidity and realism of their interactions. The supporting…
There are more words in the english language than "fuck" stop using it as a crutch.
Once again John Connors continues to prove to me that he is one of the best Irish actors working today.
Another solid Irish crime thriller. Nothing sparklingly new, but it holds together well, has a decent script and you couldn't fault the acting or directing. I don;t ask for much more than that in a cops and robber movie...
Well made
Well acted
This was my first time back in the cinema since the big rona so for that 5 stars
It's good to be back
