Two traveller families are having a feud. The wealthy owners of a nearby field are also at war with one of these families. Impressive first half but later scenes get contrived with the Garda arriving straight after a death and people bumping into each to keep the story moving. Some good dialogue and fight scenes so it's enjoyable enough. One of the better Irish releases this year but the characters are one-dimemsional and lots of scenes are supposed to be serious but are too funny to work. The best scenes were the stabbing and the insulting video. The feud gets tiresome, the ending was silly, and you end up not caring who dies. The kind of movie that should do well on DVD?
