Excellent black comedy....

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2010)

I would call this a black comedy .....it contains some very dark subject matter that won't appeal to everybody, but it's also different than anything else I've ever seen - thought provoking, and yet funny at the same time. My kind of movie! The musical score is quite excellent.
Production values are generally good, though it's obviously not a big budget feature. However the intellectual content more than makes up for any lack of big screen special effects or opulent sets. The two main characters (Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson) turn in compelling performances that convince the viewer that this not a movie, but a documentary of a real event.
Overall, I highly recommend it for anybody who enjoys thought provoking cinema, and doesn't mind if it's a bit on the dark side.
