A slow rise.

Decent story of a veteran dealing with PTSD, bad luck and bad people. This story has been told many times, rarely breaking new ground in the crime genre, only this felt more real than most. The low budget helps capture Dublin's grim urban landscapes with damp streets, dirty canals, dimly lit alleys that present a mood and create the right amount of tension. If you are entertained by depictions of urban despair and the gritty side of life and are not expecting a polished, high-budget thriller and you don't need a tidy happy ending you'll probably like it. If you're into happy sappy endings this definitely isn't it.

Bad acting and riddled with cliches

As per the title, the acting was vastly amateurish (particularly the young main character) to go along with an old, done to death theme.Obviously extremely cheaply made but it absolutely.With this type of movie there should be a connection to the characters from the viewer but poor acting and direction made that impossible.A lot of 10 ratings in the reviews, one can only assume they have come from people connected to the movie, or connected to the people who are connected to the movie. There is absolutely no way whatsoever that this is anywhere near the high marks.Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.

Amongst the Wolves

I've just seen this film in the cinema and it's one of the best indie films I've seen in 2025. It caught be off guard as I was not expecting it to be so powerful. The cinematography was breathtaking and really helped in showing the character's depths through certain frames and omissions. The directing by Mark O'Connor and acting were stellar, making it easy to be invested in Danny's story and his relationship with Will especially. It touches on important themes and is essentially a story about profound loss and represents a side of Dublin that often does not get represented. It's interesting how many different genres this film blends - thriller, family drama, action - and manages to switch between them to take an aspect from each one to make them all work together. Everyone should watch this film if they get a chance!
