Synopsis

When Michael’s (Cillian Murphy) debt to Dublin kingpin Darren Perrier (Brendan Gleeson) is called in and one of Perrier’s goons accidentally ends up dead, Michael escapes to the mountains with his father Jim (Jim Broadbent) and best friend, Brenda. Flat broke, on the run and with only 24 hours to pay up, Michael is forced to confront his true feelings for Brenda and make amends with his father. However, with Perrier and his gang in hot pursuit, time is running out for Michael and only fate, a bit of luck and possibly a gang of savage dogs will save him, in this cracking gangster comedy. —tiff.net

I gave this one star, because MUBI wouldn't let me give it none. Cillian Murphy is nice to look at though.

Not particularly original, but it's short and efficient, and has good actors. So that works for me.

Bons baisers de Dublin

By Melvin Falcone​r on April 10, 2011

Rappelant parfois le film In Bruges, également avec Brendan Gleeson (aux côtés de Colin Farell), Perrier’s Bounty réussit de mon point de vue là où le film de Martin McDonagh ne tenait pas sur la longueur…  read review
