PERRIER'S BOUNTY (2009) - Sept. 13, 2009
A really fast-paced and entertaining film about a guy, a girl and his dad, who get mixed up with loan sharks and mobsters -- shenanigans ensue. This actually reminded me quite a bit of Intermission, which was Mark O'Rowe's (the writer of this movie) first film. It's definitely just as good, featuring top-notch performances from people like Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, and a scene-stealing Jim Broadbent. O'Rowe had previously collaborated with John Crowley on Intermission and Boy A, while this film has been directed by Ian Fitzgibbon. Thankfully, Fitzgibbon's direction proves to be a good match to O'Rowe's script. ***1/2
