Synopsis

John Crowley directed and Mark O’Rowe wrote the screenplay for this movie, set in Dublin, Ireland, consisting of entirely homegrown actors on their home turf. In particular Colin Farrell, now established as a star in Hollywood through his performances in movies such as Phone Booth, plays a major role.

Like many of the characters seen in the movie, Lehiff (Farrell) has a talent for trouble with the law, hence he sings the song, “I Fought the Law” (written by Sonny Curtis), at the end of the movie. His character is therefore incomplete without doing something criminal, and, indeed, many, if not all, of the characters in the movie seem totally dysfunctional and as incomplete as he is, albeit in their differing ways.

Lehiff’s nemesis, Garda detective Jerry Lynch (Colm Meaney) feels incomplete without showing himself off as a man who constantly fights the “scumbags” on Dublin’s streets, and enlists the help of Ben Campion (Tomas O’Suilleabhain), an ambitious film-maker and the bane of his “go-softer” boss who considers Lynch too nasty a subject to be shown on a mainstream “docusoap” series on Irish terrestrial TV.

Ben is told to focus his attention on Sally (Shirley Henderson) who helped passengers after their double-decker bus spectacularly crashes on its side. Sally herself feels incomplete because of her “Ronnie” (moustache) and bitter because of her sister Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald) flaunting her new boyfriend, Sam (Michael McElhatton), a bank manager who has left his wife of 14 years, Noeleen (Deirdre O’Kane), who, feeling totally shocked, questions her own self-worth as a woman and a wife. Shirley Henderson (born December 24, 1965 in Kincardine, Scotland) is a British actress. ... Kelly Macdonald (b. ...

Deirdre had been the girlfriend of John (Cillian Murphy), whose arch-nemesis is the overbearing supermarket manager Mr. Henderson (Owen Roe), who feels incomplete without feeling good about lording it over his “minions”. John feels utterly devastated and incomplete without Deirdre and will do anything to win her back - getting himself involved in an absurd plan: kidnap Sam, force him to go to his bank, and get ransom money. This plan involves Mick (Brian F. O’Byrne), the man who had driven the bus which crashed, and Lehiff. As might be expected, things go awry when Sam, who has the money, gets assaulted by an enraged Noeleen on the street, so Mick and John flee the scene without their money.

Mick feels incomplete without gaining his revenge on the boy, Philip (Taylor Molloy), who had lobbed the stone into the windshield, causing him to swerve and crash the bus he was driving (and for which he got fired). However, again things do not go quite his way, and he ends up learning a bitter lesson. As for Lehiff, Lynch, who feels incomplete without nailing him, corners him in an open field, and the scene is set for a confrontation that ends in a way nobody expects.

Humor is an element that runs right throughout the movie as the characters have to sort out their otherwise incomplete lives as they have to deal with the harsh realities of being in love, out of love, in a job that one hates, suddenly out of a job, sticking a finger up at authority, taking the law into one’s own hands, each wanting a better deal in life than he or she can get at present. In all, it is a movie about ordinary people briefly jolted out of their ordinary lives.
