Too bad. You’d think the trifecta of vets Brendan Gleeson and Jim Broadbent and a desperate looking Cillian Murphy would make this crime romp into a tad more passable. I was hoping for something original a la In Bruges, what we have here with Ian Fitzgibbon’s Perrier’s Bounty is much of the same stuff we’ve seen before: find money within 24 hours and have goons chase you around town issuing death threats. Too dependent on drunken sailor’s lingo, lame comedy elements, uninteresting romantic story-line and swinging motions a la Tiger Woods, this feels recycled and quickly forgettable. Full review coming soon.
