Reviewfunny little irish comedy with cheadle and gleeson. starts off funnier than it ends. in the very beginning we see a car full of idiotic kids driving too fast and they crash. gleeson is a cop who doesn’t react as one might expect. he nonchalantly walks up to the car and checks their pulses; they’re all dead. then he goes through their pockets and finds some drugs. this is the most important part of the movie – is he going to book it into evidence or throw it away or take it for himself? he takes one for himself and throws the rest into the sea. it’s funny and tells about as much as you need to know about him.
