Show-off movie from our top director. Lots of camera moves and fast editing. It's like a TV series edited down to two hours. Good setting and recreation of the late '60s/early '70s but the story isn't up to much and Murphy's character is not likeable. Another problem is that when a good scene arrives we're on to a new one in a different location a minute later! Lots of good songs on the soundtrack but they get played more than once during the movie. The kind of film everyone thinks is great when it's getting made but not worth a second viewing. Jordan seems to be trying to show new Irish filmmakers 'this is how it's done!'. Shame Pluto's not a planet anymore?
