Summary: WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE OUT ON DVD?
Comment: Ditto all the great reviews here. I saw this when it came out, but why isn't it out on DVD? The top-grossing Irish film of 1998 can't catch a break from the ditributors here. What a pity.

Summary: offbeat dialogue
Comment: I happened to see "I went down" on French cable TV and loved it. I guess you would categorize it as a comedy crime caper movie. A triumph of underplaying by Peter McDonald. The best thing is the dialogue, sharply observed, offbeat and deadpan. Paddy Breathnacht delivers the story in a series of chapters with witty titles. Seemingly pointless snippets of dialogue are unforgettable:
GIRL: Do you ever talk?
GIT: yer...
GIRL: What sort of things do you say?
GIT: I say things like, shall we go to the shops?...
Or the conversation between Bunny and Git about America...wonderful!
Brendon Gleeson's part is very similar to his role in "the General".
Having searched unsuccessfully for DVD version, I had to order a second hand VHS from a store in the US, fortunately it works find on my (French) multistandard vhs player.

Summary: HILARIOUS!
Comment: I`m not usually a movie fan but this is brilliant. I think Frank Grogan (Peter Caffrey) stole the show as he played brilliantly the role of the worlds most talkative hostage! Brendan Gleeson and Peter McDonald also put up excellent displays. By far the funniest scene as pointed out below is when Bunny and Git are breaking into the house in the forest.I nearly wet myself with laughter at that scene!

Summary: Hilarious!
Comment: For those of you who enjoy European comedies, this is an excellent choice! Adjusting to the accents takes a little work, but once you've got it down, the movie sails along, cracking you up all the way. I found it much funnier and more entertaining than "Full Monty" which got rave reviews. I'd put it more along the lines of "Waking Ned Devine" in the humor department, though obviously more hard edged. Highly recommended!

Summary: great independent irish flick
Comment: Being a fan of smaller movies, I didn't know quite what to expect from this one. But after having viewed it, I quickly added it to my favorites list. While the plot isn't all that original, the performances are just great (especially Brendan Gleason). The scene just before Git and Bunny break into the house, where Bunny shows Git how to convincingly hold a gun and when they divy up the masks (Gleason's line, "Mine's the only kewl one," just had me rolling) immediately made me want to rewind and see it again. The movie was not what I expected it to be, and that turned out better than I thought. The comedy is pulled off without a hitch by the two leads, even if it's somewhat hard to get every word out of their mouths. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different.
