Total Shocker, 9 March 2006
1/10
Author: (monkeysuncle91) from Ireland

This is an appalling film. Rickman cannot pull off playing a working class British Barber but at least gives it a fair aul whack. But Hartnetts accent is quite easily the most shocking that I have ever encountered in a motion picture. And I'm Irish so I've noticed a lot of Shockers. Paddy Breathnach must have done his best though, as I honestly do not believe a director could have allowed such poor acting in his film had the casting choice actually been his. And whats the deal with 'Quirky British movies'? They are by and large fantastical hodgepodges crying out for originality but consistently looking like the idea was scibbled on the back of a beermat.
