An unorthodox Irish policeman with a confrontational personality is partnered with an uptight F.B.I. agent to investigate an international drug-smuggling ring.
Brilliant film by John Michael McDonagh. With a lot of black humor. McDonagh's trademark, which I suppose his younger brother Martin, would learn, at least in part, from him. A buddy-movie, the kind you see very few. Brendan Gleeson makes a virtuous interpretation in his usual line, and his chemistry with Don Cheadle is memorable. And points, also as always, for Mark Strong, and for Liam Cunningham, who play drug dealers (the bad guys) quite notably, as well as for David Wilmot, the third and sociopathic gangster. In conclusion, a raucous comedy that will make you have a fantastic time.
