Fresh out of prison, Git rescues a former best friend (now living with Git's girlfriend) from a beating at the hands of loan sharks. He's now in trouble with the mob boss, Tom French, who sends Git to Cork with another debtor, Bunny Kelly, to find a guy named Frank Grogan, and take him to a man with a friendly face at a shack across a bog. It's a tougher assignment than it seems: Git's a novice, Bunny's prone to rash acts, Frank doesn't want to be found (and once he's found, he has no money), and maybe Tom's planning to murder Frank, which puts Git in a moral dilemma. Then, there's the long-ago disappearance of Sonny Mulligan. What's a decent and stand-up lad to do?
This is an Irish gem from 1997 that is one of the best low budget movies I've ever seen come out of Ireland, great characters, brilliant dialogue, good action, bad language and a little love and what I always want a damn good ending, go find it and have a laugh and you'll soon be saying "No guts, no black pudding".
and Brendan Gleeson. Awesome

ReplyDeletenice post
looks gangsteresques... also, those fat vikings look badass!
ReplyDeleteI found it on Amazon but on VHS. I noticed that one of the comments above said it was on Youtube. I'll look for it there. As an aside, the VHS on Amazon has subtitles. Unless this is selling like hotcakes in Japan, I feel a bit insulted by that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. It looks like something I would love to watch.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Plus, the character's name is actually "Git"? :)
