Written and directed by John Michael McDonagh (older brother of playwright-filmmaker Marin McDonagh) and highly recommended to anyone who hasn't see this gem yet.Brendan Gleeson is top notch as the Irish cop stationed in the west (Connemara) of the country. Part rogue, part charmer, part savant, the character he portrays fits him like a custom glove.
Since this is a McDonagh film it is certainly not politically correct and this is quite refreshing in today's you-can't-say-that culture.
The tone is somewhat stylized with the set colors and music, reminiscent of something from the late 60' or early 70's.
Enjoyable and refreshing...
