Genres & Description

Action Comedy Crime

6.4 / 10

Michael Lynch is Dublin's most notorious criminal, his brazen robberies making him the bane of the Gardaí and a hero to his fellow working class city Northsiders. When not playing happy families with his two wives - sisters Christine and Lisa - and his children, Lynch is busy plotting elaborate heists, thinking as much about the showmanship of it all as he is the loot involved. On his case is Garda Noel Quigley, his determination to convict Lynch slowly turning into an obsession. Inevitably, a showdown looms.

Shit film. And shit accents. Colin farrel should be ashamed. I went red with embarrassment watching this. - @Saturday, August 25, 2018 7:46 PM

This movie must be how all Americans view Irish people. Just recently watched it and you can tell it was produced from an outsider. Someone not used to contemporary Ireland. - @Monday, August 1, 2016 3:22 AM

Kevin Spacey is a terrible actor. It's not just because of his dire attempt at an Irish accent but he is always so fucking smug in every role. - @Saturday, July 16, 2016 1:53 PM

Oh come on its not hard to do an Irish accent, so many actors who i respect have tried it and failed miserably, Brad Pitt still holds the title for the best accent, the rest are a great big pile of shite. - @Sunday, February 21, 2016 7:50 PM

Who the hell increased the pitch on the Irish voices? Is it racist or not? - @Tuesday, May 6, 2014 9:15 PM

I didn't see Colin Farrell at all in this whole fuckin trailer. This looks like the turning point in his career though. after this it was American Outlaws, Hart's War and Phone Booth. then the world knew he was a man to truly be admired. - @Tuesday, January 21, 2014 5:51 AM

ever notice when americans attempt our accent, no mtter where the film is set wheather it be in belfast or cork they still use this crap generic accent. and i agree this was a good movie but spacey's accent was atrocious - @Friday, November 25, 2011 3:41 AM

@Magnolia296 You know this film is based on a true story, not two films. It's not a combination of anything, it's just based on the life of "The General" Martin Cahill. - @Tuesday, August 9, 2011 3:51 PM

It's a brutal accent! For such a good actor who is very good at impersinations, it's a bad accent! Where is it from? The film's set in Dublin. - @Tuesday, August 9, 2011 3:48 PM

Really great heist movie - fantastic combination of The Real McCoy (1993) and The Thomas Crown Affair (1999). The ending was just superb. Kevin Spacey, Linda Fiorentino, Peter Mullan, Helen Baxendale, Colin Farrell and others did a great job - @Tuesday, November 16, 2010 9:50 AM
