Ordinary decent criminal

One of the saddest aspects of Irish cinema is the small number of talented directors who sold out to make sh*te. One famous example is the director of this movie. How could the talented director of December Bride go on to make stuff like this? We have stories to tell indeed! One of three adaptations of Martin Cahill's story this one is the weakest. Hire in a few international stars; use all the famous Dublin locations; copy an ITV crime-drama style; hold back the violence; hold back any impact on the audience; and bore the nads off the audience. It's disappointing crap, the kind of movie that everyone raves about when it's getting made, but no-one will talk about once released! It's like something directed by a committe instead of a talented filmmaker.
