Firstly it is a sad gritty portrayal of criminal families retribution and loyalty set in rural Ireland...
It's not a Guy Ritchie film, it's not got clever lines and arty montages set to current edgy. Trendy music.
The lead role is much maligned in some reviews as wooden and poor actor. I could not disagree more... Firstly he's playing the part of a quiet man who has learned a way in the world through violence and misplaced loyalty. Its clear that as well as his little boy being far on the autistic spectrum that so is he. So infact imho he plays the role very well...
The film is tense and brooding and yes it's depressing... But hey watch Mary Poppins if you don't like gritty films.
If you are looking for stylish gangsta movies... Move along... But otherwise give this film your time...
