I Went Down
1997
One
doesn't count, the other can't. Dis-organised
crime.
When I WENT
DOWN was released, it was the highest grossing
independent Irish film ever. It's the story of
the unlikely alliance between an ex-con and a
short-tempered thug who - as bodies pile up -
realize they have to work together if they are
to survive the brutal Irish underworld.
Playwright
Conor McPherson
mixes broad humour and sharp dialogue into a
funny and thrilling
road-movie crime-caper built around
the uneasy partnership of two small-time Dublin
chancers. Their beguilingly entertaining journey
across Ireland takes the audience through a
landscape of rural petrol stations, stand-offs
on the bog, an ever-deepening intrigue and the
deceptively rich tapestry of Irish humour. |
