Perrier’s Bounty - 2009 - 7/10
Exceedingly black Irish comedy.
Two mob soldiers wake up Michael (by spitting pistachio shells at him) and remind him he has only a few hours to repay a financial obligation to their boss.
Burglary, beatings, gunplay follow as Michael’s predicament tailspins from bad to worse.
His estranged father appears, and his depressed female neighbor proves trigger happy.
A great shaggy dog film. Everyone who sat with me laughed out loud.
Starring Cillian Murphy, Jim Broadbent, Jodie Whittaker, Liam Cunningham.
And let’s not forget the dogs: Achilles and Apollo!
