Yer a pack of *bleep*ing elephants!

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2012)

One of my favorite movies ever. Brendan Gleeson is also one of my favorite actors, and Colin Farrell is certainly growing on me as he gets older, especially in humorous roles. It's nice to hear Colin using his real voice instead of doing American accents. Note: Some folks in the US may have a hard time understanding some of the dialogue at low volumes, and be prepared with the rewind button to catch what's being said (as well as for the "did he just say what I think he said?" moments). I agree that the ending could have been handled better, but PLEASE do not let that discourage you from seeing this wonderful picture. The banter between Ray and Ken is worth the price of the movie alone. Add in Ralph Fiennes cursing in a way that would make a sailor blush, the love interest Chloe, her idiot ex, the gun dealer overly obsessed with dark corners ;), and the on-again-off-again friendship with a "little person", you have an intriguing and thoroughly entertaining movie, smartly written dialogue, and it is well worth your time. I still get choked up while the Irish dirge is playing during the bell tower scene.
