Mackiepenny:
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, the glory, now and forever. Amen.

Alternate Versions
The version at the German Fantasy Film Fest (1999) and the Canadian DVD release differ in 3 cuts. The DVD cuts are:
the Hotel Shootout: This scene has a cut about 7 seconds, showing bloody bullet hits, when the two brothers are hanging on the rope.
Rocco shoots the Mafia-Guys in the bar: The headshot and the shot in the chest are cut away on the DVD. You only see the blood coming out of the back of the bench.
Shootout in the pool room: One scene is cut which shows several bullet hits in the body of the guy who opens the door.
Pool room shootout: The guy that's holding the phone, standing in the back left corner, gets shot twice. The second bullet hit is cut out from the US R-rated DVD.
Cool action scenes, good pacing and much funny entrateinment. A dark comedy in Irish world
Willem dafoe does a good job on the acting and it has a decent soundtrack. I don't see why critics hate this movie.
