The movie mostly shines in capturing the essence of a 70s Ireland by showcasing some vintage cars and presenting beautiful visuals of the Irish countryside. It introduces compelling thematic elements that spark interest but frustratingly remain unexplored throughout the narrative.
Despite its unique and independent storyline, the film's delivery falls short. The story feels a bit shallow and the motives behind the antagonists actions at times seem unclear.
Condon as the villain is the standout performance of the film, and the involvement of Jack Gleeson is intriguing, but largely due to his nearly unrecognizable appearance due to his mustache. The film has a tremendous cast but it doesn't really seem to know what to do with them.
The thick Irish accents occasionally pose a challenge in understanding the dialogue, but it's a refreshing change to witness Neeson embracing his natural accent.
Nonetheless, Liam Neeson, at 71, continues to impress, adding another film to his impressive roster of action movies. Though this one feels much smaller than the rest, it goes without saying that he's showing no signs of slowing down.
