5.0 out of 5 stars great independent irish flick, January 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Went Down [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Being a fan of smaller movies, I didn't know quite what to expect from this one. But after having viewed it, I quickly added it to my favorites list. While the plot isn't all that original, the performances are just great (especially Brendan Gleason). The scene just before Git and Bunny break into the house, where Bunny shows Git how to convincingly hold a gun and when they divy up the masks (Gleason's line, "Mine's the only kewl one," just had me rolling) immediately made me want to rewind and see it again.

The movie was not what I expected it to be, and that turned out better than I thought. The comedy is pulled off without a hitch by the two leads, even if it's somewhat hard to get every word out of their mouths. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, February 9, 2000

For those of you who enjoy European comedies, this is an excellent choice! Adjusting to the accents takes a little work, but once you've got it down, the movie sails along, cracking you up all the way. I found it much funnier and more entertaining than "Full Monty" which got rave reviews. I'd put it more along the lines of "Waking Ned Devine" in the humor department, though obviously more hard edged. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky twists, terrific actors: not your usual movie, May 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Went Down [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am still congratulating myself for having rented this movie with nothing more to recommend it than the box blurb. I never knew where the story would take me, nor could I anticipate when I would break into laughter. A fine movie, full of little rewards that pay out as the characters reveal themselves. A good one to rent rather than watch in a movie house, because if you don't understqnd a line (the Irish accent is pretty thick at times), you can go back and play it again.
