Director John Crowley (Brooklyn) and playwright Mark O’Rowe made the move from stage to screen with this rollicking tale of malcontents on the make. With Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy leading an ensemble cast of familiar faces, Intermission is a crime comedy with mischief and attitude to burn.

With a fire-and-brimstone performance from Timothy Spall and a shrewd, affable turn from Colm Meaney, this gripping work of historical fantasy imagines how mortal enemies might begin a dialogue. In a moving narrative, director Nick Hamm reflects on living for a cause bigger than any one man.
