A variant Drug-ee Midnight Cowboy in Rain Drenched Dublin, two dun-fer
deadheads work out how to spend the remaining hours in their own
personal hell. There’s some very consummate acting from the two lead
roles,and lots of lovely character acting, an unashamed range of strong
urban Dublin accents, some nicely comedic situations and relations,
some nice bits of cinematography and some touching moments, worthy of
viewing for those accepting of its strong themes of addiction poverty
and no hope grime, though there some similarities between this and
midnight cowboy, its updated for the modern age and stands elements on
its head without too strongly pulling on the emotional levers that are
obviously available, and the truth is this story is perpetual and
endless, we tend to iconify and re-project that small proportion who
win, but the opposite portion are the truer story, the ending was
inversed and more modernist and harder to swallow but true enough to
itself and very valid. A tale for those who understand the dark end of the street is
in nearly every town everywhere.

A Valid filmic attempt … but Subconsciously littered and heavy with youth multiculturalist schmaltzy programmatic London themes. Crazy skinhead appearing apparently lacklustre comedian needily courts 2nd/3rd
generation immigrant as comedic partner, buttons here are pushed way too heavily, cheesy montage, overplayed and instantly appearing passion / emotion / bonding expose etc various very stereotype or unfleshed
unbelievable characters litter this supposedly comedic / confused film, which seeks and desires to project an agenda on your thinking on multiculturalist society, young people in restaurants living in large
nice shared houses with twee Jewish gypsy grandmothers in the suburbs, and the English restaurant boss is inexplicably somehow the bad guy … yeah, I suppose its comedy ? though im not sure where its emotionally
aimed and it lolls around all over the place without the subtlety too make the manoeuvres its attempting. I’m not exactly sure which UK or London this film is based in, but its not one I recognise from any era,
its that kind of programmatic media invisioned version of somewhere London the UK film industry likes to liberallist project. soft glow effect overused throughout, ends in a cut short manner with a heinous
montage of implied sacharrin ending. Not funny enough – not believable in any of the places it attempts to go, falls between all the stools … lands nowhere.

An identifiable cameo-ish appearance of Ralph Brown of Danny Withnal fame will with cognition tease for recognition upon your eye.
