Irish rogue Colin Farrell is up to his womanizing ways again. First, hes waxing philosophically to a female cashier about love; next, hes punching her in the face while attempting to rob her store. And things only get darker in this Irish-ized Pulp Fiction. Set in the suburbs of Dublin, the breakup of two young lovers (Cillian Murphy of 28 Days Later and Kelly Macdonald of Trainspotting) ignites a series of wacky and deranged events that bound aimlessly out of control while tying together a host of stories about messed-up relationships between even more messed-up people. Frantic and edgy, this offbeat roller coaster of love and small-time opportunism excels with unpredictable comedic episodes and gratuitous violence. But its Farrells tough-as-nails attitude and colorful knit sweaters that make it big style. (Look it up in your Irish-to-American dictionary.)
