Irish Ashes

Watched the British low budget indie film "Irish Ashes" by filmmaker Chris Shane Sanders tonight, about a man getting mixed up with gangsters while searching for his sister. My favorite of this filmmaker's so far! Some great performances by the cast, especially by Claire Jared as Kelly Shannon and Paul Preston as gangster Eddie Rourke. It was also great seeing some familiar faces from other indie films such as Scott Ward, Jack Berner, and John Potash! I was also impressed by the various locations used which looked great on the screen, especially the church and the club. If you like films like "Get Carter" and indie films in general then give this one a watch.

Acting was terrible,no suspense,no action. Fight scenes were staged by 3 year olds. Where did they find these people. Music in the background sounded like a funeral. Movement by actors was slow. This movie must of costed 50 cents to make. I bet the farm people will walk out after a few minutes. I love English movies but this looked like some kids made it at school by 12 year olds . No special effects. Stone faced actors never heard of any in this film. No plot no explanation why the main actor was doing. No people in the strip clubs. Bland bland bland. I would have given it a minus 0 .Dont waste ur time.

I can safely say this is one of the worst films I've ever seen( and I've seen a lot of terrible movies) The acting is so atrocious that to me it seems almost deliberate. As other people say, the fight scenes are dreadful, the lead is about as hard as Pee Wee Herman, and the so called mobsters make the copper on Balamory look like Dirty Harry. I just couldn't stop thinking, this must be a wind up surely?! I see some people giving it a high rating, they MUST be confusing it with something else. I only gave it 1 star because zero wasn't an option. I highly recommend that if anyone is considering watching this, don't, it'll just annoy you from start to finish.

Another great feature from acclaimed director Satnam Purewal and actor - producer - director Chris Shane Saunders. Really great cast including star turns from Chris himself , Paul Preston , Claire Jared and a welcome cameo from Mike Lehane . Brilliant direction as always from Sam Purewal , great storyline great action sequences , all round great watch edge of seat stuff till end. This isn't just a action movie you can also relate to it as a family drama If your looking for a really good summer action movie with dramatic storyline this is it an excellent addition to the growing uks independent movie industry.

This move had so much potential; the plot, the setting, the cinematography, unfortunately this was all it had to offer. The acting was horrible the editing was worse and the pregnant pauses between lines was almost unbearable. Yet the movie bones were so good that you couldn't look away. This type of movie always gets me thinking, how could a movie like this cost several million dollars when any talented producer could recreate this movie with his buddies and an iPhone. That been said I was able to watch this movie all the way through and actually was excited to see how off I was from the foreshadowing that was as obvious as a slap in the face from a sledgehammer.
