Northern Irelands answer to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was released this weekend in Ireland. I went along to see it after meeting the director and some of the stars at a television interview earlier in the week. The story is about a young catholic boy called John Jo who leads pretty normal life, his life starts to go wrong when his dad has an affair with the woman from the cinema and his mum moves out into his Aunite Ritas. His life seems really bad until he meets a young protestant boy called Mickybo, the two break into the cinema and become obsessed with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" this leads the two onto a journey to Australia on the run from the law. this is a very fine piece of work from Terry Loane and although it is from Northern Ireland it is not totally based on the troubles although they are a magnificent backdrop for it. Congratulations to all who were involved with making it and I encourage everyone else to go and see it.
