Another little-known Irish movie from the '90s this one is set a century earlier on the West coast's largest island. It's about a rogue who befriends a rich Protestant lady and abuses her before emigrating. Kind of like Michal Winner's The Nightcomers. However, the film is totally ruined by bad editing (a big problem in Irish cinema). Although technically impressive the scenes fly by before they make sense and it gets dull. Shame, as these kind of Irish films are needed again.
