Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Maggie Bannan To call this just a film would be tantamount to calling Da Vinci just a mere artist or Scorcese an amateur.I believe this film has the ability to change lives and should be introduced into School Ciriculums to combat drug-abuse, underage smoking and drinking and would also eradicate underage pregnancies.The lessons learned in this has already made me stop smoking 100 Mayfair before breakfast, and I've even stopped drinking 3 bottles of Frosty Jack a day, which is around 20% of my daily requirement of Frosty Jack.The lessons learned in this masterpiece, if viewed by our representatives in Parliament definitely has the power to stop wars and allow some form of united world socialism.Bless you Shay Casserly, and Jimmy Bennet for introducing me to what can be accomplished with shared vision and a beautiful philosophy that underlies this masterclass of film-making.

Nallo Possibly the greatest movie ever made, complete with carefully interwoven subplots thats keeps the viewer guessing for days afterwards.Mickey Graham is nothing short of spectacular and James P. Bennett plays the role with all the coolness and natural ability of Bruce Lee, but also has the emotional acting ability of a young Marlon Brando or Humphrey Bogarts performance in The Big Sleep.As far as scenery, you couldn't wish for a more serene setting than Trim, its a character in itself, just like Sergio Leone's mid 1960s westerns. This is a celebration of joy.

craig-905 Too call this film an Oscar winning performance is an understatement. Bennett has the qualities of a master, more agile than Bruce Lee but with the funny bone of Jackie Chan. From moon kicks to standing on logs he can do it all. From a young age he was trained in one of the finest schools in Europe, the school of Bennett in Trim. His dad was a master of the sport and has always been proud of his son, he is now and he was then. His first and only film "Fatal Deviation" reached box office success with packed out shows in his home town of Trim. Hes his own stunt man and cos of his recklessness his friends dubbed him "Johnny Square Ass". Hes so crazy he even did his own car stunt in which he nearly died, yes hes that mental! So crazy in fact that after the stunt he gets out and laughs, what a guy!!My friends and I have watched this over 50 times minimum and still watch it bi monthly. It is without a doubt my favourite film of all time and a piece of Irish film history, way better than your Michael Collins or any other wannabe Irish movie. If your looking for authenticity well then look no further.This film makes me proud of my country..It makes me sad that the guy down below that gave this piece of brave film making a 1/10, obviously s/he just doesn't get the films plot and insane action. Its probably not Hollywood enough for him but if you can appreciate a film for its roaming shots of rural life, tricky martial art stunts, harrowing love interests and som eof the finest acting this side of the world, well then take a seat, open your eyes and set your mind to stun.(p.s: the priest can still be seen roaming the church grounds but only "after training").

birrmush Excellent acting by good guy jimmy(i'm going to be the next jean claude van damme) bennett and the evil gang boss played by brilliant solicitor michael regan, who when they're delivering lines such as "Fuck you and your gun, ya prick" and "wouldn't that be sweet?!" seem so natural it defies the fact that this is their movie debut.My only gripes with this movie are that it isn't longer and didn't have any sequels. If the makers of this timeless classic read this and many internet blogs on this legendary movie surely they'll realise that a DVD release would sell brilliantly online, surely then funding a much sought after sequel. Well done lads!
