Twenty years before Savage here's another Dublin vigilante movie! A motor biker gets fed up seeing his friends die of drugs and goes after the main dealer. Stylish thriller except it's neither! Loved the scene with the movie poster on an office wall: a talented director would use one of Citizen Kane or some cult movie but these directors used a poster of the infamous turkey Howard the duck! That just about says all you need to know. Everyone argues in this movie and it gets tiresome. Most of it makes no sense: a guy sings in a street but there's no hat on the ground for people to throw him money; where did the main guy get that gun or rather how did he know it was there?; who was that girl shot by Bergin's character; why did the main guy give away his house?; and why is everyone acting in a different movie to each other? One good part was the use of proper rock bands on the soundtrack instead of the lame indie groups you hear in most recent Irish movies.
