Criminal cousins try to rebuild their lives in Cathal Nally’s likably quirky, low-budget debut feature
This ultra-low-budget feature about working-class cousins on temporary release from Dublin’s Mountjoy prison feels a bit like the sort of sketchy, acoustic-sharp Irish black comedy that Lenny Abrahamson or Martin McDonagh (from the In Bruges period) made in their early years, before they went electric and found mega-fame Stateside directing the likes of Room and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. That’s a high compliment, and possibly a teensy bit more than Be Good or Be Gone deserves, given it’s a smidge trite and over-the-top in places – but it definitely has spark.
Its strongest suit is the chemistry between Les Martin (who also co-wrote the script with Paul Murphy) and impish master of deadpan Declan Mills, who play Ste and Weed respectively They’re ordinary types from Dublin’s rougher zones who,...

The premise of a man leaving jail and returning home, only to be beset by problems is a well-worn one and perhaps that's why Cathal Nally struggled to get funding and had to self-finance his feature debut. It was certainly worth the effort as the end result has a pleasing freshness and offers a winning mix of grit, heart and charm.
Ste (Les Martin) is the man in question, freed for four days parole in Dublin with his cousin Weed (Declan Mills) - theirs is a world where everything, including life, can be abruptly abbreviated, no wonder nobody has time for two-syllable names. Ste, who has a girlfriend, Dee (Jenny-Lee Masterson) and young daughter Ellie Mae - the very length of whose name suggests hope - on the outside is the more thoughtful of the two. Weed, meanwhile, falls into the 'impulsive side-kick' territory, looking to score a heroin fix as.
