Another below-par Irish movie. DVD review.
A group of middle-aged forest workers encourage a local singer to hit the big time against the wishes of the local bully.
Expected a lot from this movie because of the critical acclaim it received on theatrical release. Sadly, it's a disappointment and is nowhere as good as the American '70s movies it set out to emulate. Rather a dull tale about a bunch of has-beens and the arguments they have with each other. Problem is that the movie is not realistic and appears like some small-screen drama with uneven acting. It's also has rather tame handling for the characters that appear here - where's the violence? The confrontation scenes are too timid and the movie appear lifeless because of the use of close-ups and studio settings. I did like the country songs on the soundtrack but overall the movie was too timid and lame. You'd be better off watching a genuine western offbeat movie from the '70s such as Rancho Deluxe.
Small Engine Repair is a disappointment.
