7.3 / 10

An unlikely kind of friendship develops between Fergus, an Irish Republican Army volunteer, and Jody, a kidnapped British soldier lured into an IRA trap by Jude, another IRA member. When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out Jody's lover, a hairdresser named Dil. Fergus adopts the name "Jimmy" and gets a job as a day laborer. He also starts seeing Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know, either...

I think he knew all along. I think he was in love with Jody and he turned to Dil when Jody died. - @Sunday, November 18, 2018 6:15 PM

"it's funny the way things go... Never the way you expect it." - that really is the perfect line to sum up this movie. - @Thursday, September 13, 2018 2:10 AM

I found it interesting how everyone treated Dil's transgenderism matter-of-factly, because apparently even Jude knew Dil wasn't really a female since she had been following Dil around and even stalked Jimmy and Dil out at the gay, drag club, The Metro. She had to have known but like most people, except Fergus, their attitude was "So what! Who cares!" and they moved on with the story never really mentioning it. - @Thursday, May 24, 2018 6:21 PM

Shallow Hal brought me here. It sounded like an interesting movie, but this trailer just looks shitty. - @Sunday, April 1, 2018 4:03 AM

DON'T google the cast. It'll ruin the movie. - @Wednesday, October 4, 2017 1:55 AM

Such a great film - @Monday, August 14, 2017 1:07 AM

I like the title track by Boy George, but not the movie. The movie is a "90s movie", almost action like. Not my style. - @Friday, November 4, 2016 8:53 AM

I watched this film last week or the week before when it was on TV because I remembered it from the 90's. I have also heard it being referred to many times in film and TV since. I was unimpressed. It mainly consisted of "really Jimmy? "Do you mean it Jimmy?" "Aye Dil" "No Dil". - @Tuesday, July 12, 2016 11:48 AM

I reckon they should have used a real woman with an animatronic cock. - @Saturday, May 28, 2016 3:14 AM

I never understood the shock factor... I mean, the moment you hear the voice you know there's something weird going on, plus the " I have to tell you something" - @Sunday, May 15, 2016 1:50 PM

Dil, the woman in the red dress in most of this trailer, is played by Jaye Davidson, a very feminine man(he is not really a transwoman, just a feminine gay man). He also played the main villian of Ra in Roland Emmerich's "Stargate". And then he retired from Acting, after only 2 films! - @Saturday, March 9, 2013 5:27 PM
