Not to be confused with the previously reviewed Travellers this is an American movie from the 1990s. It has a good cast and is about mainly Irish travellers in the States who con and trick people out of money. Like an early-'70s movie it's offbeat, character driven, and observes people living outside of the system. Wahlberg is the new arrival who watches and learns from Paxton. There's a silly shootout at the end and the movie gets too violent. Various references to Ireland including dialogue and music. Nothing special but it's interesting the contrast between how American and British movies portray Irish travellers living in these countries. Not well known but it's out on DVD.
