Believe it or not, a decade ago this was considered quality Irish cinema! A road-race movie through the border full of young working-class ravers. There's the predictable conflict between the two Irish groups and lots of funky music on the soundtrack. Similar to Headrush but better. Some end up shot at the border while others drug out of fuel. Then there's a scary attack by rural Nordie locals and lots of joyriding. It's the kind of movie that Irish cinema was crying out for in the late '90s but it's now as dated as Britpop band Shed Seven.
