The film was shot in 18 days on a budget of 18,000. According to Connolly "We put together a compact crew - first-timers like ourselves - and we shot the film in eighteen days, mostly within a three mile radius of O'Connell Bridge. We tried to follow some basic guidelines we had culled together from reading and hearing about low-budget film-making - namely, you write a script with a couple of characters in one location; you do an inventory of availability; you make it fit your budget; you rehearse well, talk everything through; you spend the money on getting the best gear you can afford; you keep the shoot tight - three weeks maximum; you use locations that are free; you keep to a twelve-hour day, six day week; you shoot a ratio of 6/1 and you keep away from people who say it can't be done."

Pointlessness.

This movie didn't make me irritated, as some true wastes of time and money do, but it's really kind of... oy.

This 'flick' is a scrambled egg. I rented it on a 2-4-$1 deal at my local grindhouse video rental hackjob, which typically features a good deal of horror, vulgar comedy, and straight-to-video drug dealer sagas; the cover sold this as a drug/mobster movie set in Dublin. However, I was unable to tell where it was shot except for an occasional set of wet cobblestones. As for the filmmaker, it looks a a temporarily hip bartender was able to con his bosses into financing a movie about the 'thug life' as imagined by a complete neophyte.

Really, it's a mopey romantic 'guy flick' slightly modified to seem less pathetically whiny by tacking on a 'tough-guy' mob subplot. The party where 'flick' runs into the one chick, the thing with his partner, his personal issues, etc. etc. etc. It's really an episode of FRIENDS with some guys in leather coats hovering about.

The sex scene is not bad, I'll give it that, but other than that, it wasn't even a very good time-waster.

(Oh; reading the other reviews and finding it was shot on the proverbial shoestring budget, it totally explains the obviously fake Walther PPK in the van, and the rabbit-hunting rifle the 'police' tote at the iffy climactic shootout).

I'd like to be nicer, but really.
