My favourite film ‘brill
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
The actors have done a great job portraying the real characters, the fact that it is made in black and white adds to the realism. Very well acted.

This is the best version of the Martin Cahill story. As far as I know there have been three. A BBC production, an incredible watered down and romanticised America production, (Kevin Spacey, Ordinary Decent Criminal) and this one. Cahill is by no means a Robin Hood type character. He was, (and is portrayed in the film), a violet criminal, who will not let anyone get in hi way, not the Police, not the general public and not the IRA. He did however become a folk hero to many people in Ireland in the 80s, before Celtic Tiger to hold of Ireland and made it what it has become now. The performances are good and fairly understated and even Jon Voight is almost credible as a jaded old Police officer, if not a little miscast, (I assume to placate the American audience). The only problem is with this Region 1 version. As anyone who has ever been to Dublin will tell you, swearing to a Dub is just punctuation. For some reason, (again I think to placate the Americans), the swearing has been quite badly dubbed out. Overall, a very good film, not for the squeamish, (the seen in the snooker hall), well worth a viewing! 7 out of 10Read full review
