i be irish and i have be live in denmark for a while so i be look forward to go home last week so i could see intermission . and i will go on record a say representthis film be awful . it be not quite a bad a something like the most fertile man in ireland but it definitely do not stand up there with other irish film such a the commitment and i go down or michael collins . some aspect of the film be actually quite funny and such a colm meaneys american style garda . but the film itself be shoot completely wrong . the bounce around of the camera and the constant zoom in and zoom out try to give the film an edgy look a if it be a gritty drama . but it isn not . this be an irish lock and stock and two smoking barrel and it should be shoot like this . it should have smooth movement from one shot to the next . the film just look sloppy and thrown together . the performance be okay and give the awful script . a friend of mine say to me like it be like they just follow colin farrell around dublin for a week . he give a decent display a a dublin dirtbag and but it no way compare to his performance in minority report and tigerland or phone booth . the best performance be from dierdre okane who play a sexually frustrate middle age woman who have just be dump by her bank manager husband for a young woman . i think she should leave her god awful stand up and focus more on her acting . all in all and it do in no way live up to the expectation put on it by the irish press or deserve to be even consider a one of the best irish film ever . i be expect a backlash from these comment because most people i have speak to have say it be great . but before you reply and ask yourself represent would think so highly of this movie if it be set in england or america .
