The courier

Stylish but woeful Dublin gangster movie about a courier who discovers that he's transporting drugs around the city. A decade before Veronica Guerin/The General this one has Byrne playing a psychotic criminal. Uses two directors (bad idea) and the movie is all style and zero substance. The great Ian Bannen appears and some not-so-great Irish bands (next U2!) are on the soundtrack. This movie is an interesting failure but deserves to be better known.
