Fresh out of prison, Git rescues a former best friend (now living with Git's girlfriend) from a beating at the hands of loan sharks. He's now in trouble with the mob boss, Tom French, who sends Git to Cork with another debtor, Bunny Kelly, to find a guy named Frank Grogan, and take him to a man with a friendly face at a shack across a bog. It's a tougher assignment than it seems: Git's a novice, Bunny's prone to rash acts, Frank doesn't want to be found (and once he's found, he has no money), and maybe Tom's planning to murder Frank, which puts Git in a moral dilemma. Then, there's the long-ago disappearance of Sonny Mulligan. What's a decent and stand-up lad to do?

Jenny Marsh is a hard-luck dame who's just finished five years in the slammer for killing a man. Jenny's not exactly the murdering type -- she did the deed while defending her jailbird lover, Harry, which is probably one reason she's attracted the attention of her parole officer, Griff Marat.

We see two ex-criminals coming to terms with the past after one of them has been released from prison, leading to a final stand against another criminal. The two male main characters are somewhat one-dimensional and only bearable because they are enacted by experienced and charismatic actors. All other characters are as complex as the teletubbies- lots of beautiful women, but don't mind their names, they are just decoration for Pacino and Walken- not to mention the most ridiculous plot twists: A woman, after having been violated by a horde of criminals and kept in the trunk of a car, enjoys a happy breakfast among our friendly criminals before getting back on the perps-- in perfect style, of course. The young female owner of a brothel is talked into sex with a senior who dies the same night from senile decay, and has of course the time of her live. Another women just learns that her father is dead and agrees smiling to an unofficial and spontaneous funeral. Walken's grandchild needs exactly 30 minutes to relate to her granddaddy and build the deepest possible relationship. The list goes own, you get the idea. This flick is just a waste of time.

Walken and Pacino are the main, and almost the only reason to watch this film. The ideal film for the older generation, I mean really old. Predictable, but interesting plot with small background story. Borrowed quote from cult movies, but it fits perfectly, not too much action as we used to, especially from Pachino, but enough.Neither comedy nor action, but it is more than watchable. Enough interesting/wired side characters which make the plot interesting. In the final scenes of the film Pachino and Walken showed flashes of their old glory. Let's summarize, If you like Walken or Pacino, you will like the movie, if not, skip it.

This movie is absolutely horrific. The actors look bored and tired, there is basically NO plot, it never gets to the point and just plain old boring. The story is basically about some old dude who has to kill his best friend and never gets to do that as giving him his last day turns into torture for the audience. They come and go like 1000 times to a whore house until one of them actually gets sick for taking too much of a pill (yes, that actually happens). And then they basically save a naked girl from the trunk of a car they stole. The end made NO sense, and was just a waste of my time. A pity that such great actors were cast in this stinker.1/10
