Storyline

Set sometime in the near future in an Ireland free of British rule, two ruling gangs come together over the abduction and death of several small boys. The most recent occurrence, the drowning of Luke Bradley's son, seems to point to a man known as The Preacher. Once his guilt is decided, the gangs offer Bradley the chance to take his revenge, and kill The Preacher. Written by Ailis

Appalling
30 August 1999 | by bloke-8See all my reviews

No wonder the Irish film industry is virtually non-existent. I'm Irish and I'm embarrassed that drivel like this is seen to represent Irish film. If the powers that be keep dumping money into pointless dreck like this we'll never have a healthy indigenous film making community. Some of the worst acting I've ever seen, a tedious over-written script and a deeply stupid ending.
