    Cathal Nelly well done lad

    Promising debut

    This independently financed debut has a lot going for it. There is strong chemistry between the two leads, and the script is peppered with genuine inner city Dublin dialect that Roddy Doyle would be proud of. All the characters are believable, and despite the bleak moments (inner city drug addiction and criminal intimidation) the film has an energy about it, and sits comfortably between Adam and Paul (2004) and Between The Canals (2011). A promising debut that should lead to bigger things for all concerned.

    A great movie with a punch and great characters

    I totally enjoyed watching this movie a great self funded project which stands up on it's own with it's great characters and a good story. A movie that also captured the bare bones and pure essence of Inner City Dublin. A great debut for director Cathal Nally in his first feature and great performances from Les Martin and Declan Mills. Actors to watch out for in the future!

    Very Charming Film

    I saw this movie at the Underground Cinema Festival last september and I found it to be sooo charming! Not what I expected at all!

    The blurb on the film kinda put me off at first. Sounded like a typical Irish gangster thingy. But it actually isn't. Yes, there are some heavy scenes but its also very funny and poetic in an odd way. Very well written script and the guy playing Weed in it is fantastic! All round though the acting is very good and the music score doesn't sound like the usual silly paddy-whackery that a lot of Irish film have.

    It'll be a cult classic for sure. Check it out.

    Excellent Stuff!

    Really surprised by this little film. Saw the review in The Guardian the other day and thought why not take a look. I thought it was much better than the 3-star review it received. No recognizable names in it at all but really well acted. Simple story and plot but done excellently well. As low budget films go this is brilliant. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
