The most hyped and acclaimed Irish movie from the '90s. Kids were told to take a half day off school to see this picture! So what did they see? None other than a standard Hollywood movie (influenced by many biopics and The Godfather) with short scenes, a silly romance subplot, and a fast-paced storyline. Nothing special, overrated, and bloated. Then there's the contrived scenes that didn't happen and the altered ending. Neil Jordan may be our top director but world class he is not.
