Pursuit

Another Irish release that crawls into cinemas without much fanfare or publicity. It's a gangster film updating of an old legend. A couple goes on the run avoiding bullets and baddies. Lots of famous faces appear with several unknown ones. Fast paced and aimed at the multiplex this is an above average effort. In fact, it's quite unique in Irish cinema for using so many cuts in the edit to speed up the story. Lots of jump cuts and plot twists. Also impressive is how loud the songs on the soundtrack are. Most Irish movies have the songs fade in quietly but never reach their full impact. What's missing is a good set piece. Trojan Eddie meets Black ice meets Perrier's bounty. But better than any of those. They can use that quote for the DVD release!
