Such a frustrating disappointment
Just perfect...
A different way of telling a story
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There weren't many things keeping me going just one hour and 30 minutes ago, in fact, you could possibly argue that the only reason I hadn't ended my life was because I was afraid people would look through my search history. But then I watched this movie, and suddenly, everything became.... better.... now now, I'm not a superstitious person, and I don't usually believe just anything the voices quietly whisper to me when the lights aren't on, but this movie is an exception, because after watching it, I was inexplicably happier than I had ever been in my entire life, even more so than I was when when Obama Left office. Hahahahaha, but in all seriousness watching this movie has became a sort of spiritual experience for me, and every time I slide my well worn but well loved signed his tape into my vcr, and look dead into the eyes of James Bennet on the poster with a crotch hole on my wall, I think to myself, , I sit and quietly and pity the souls who have not yet been blessed with the presence of James Bennett's muscular and toned body. This movie changed my life, and it'll change yours too. Go now in peace sibling of the eternal Bennett, and may you forever know, that James is watching over you, ready to help whenever you need an Orish Chuck Norris
I was once seen walking around with one shoe on, upon being asked if I lost a shoe, I responded "No, I found one." This transexisential thought-process was a result of watching this film.How James 'Jimmy' Bennett hasn't went onto further his career in Hollywood is more to do with his beliefs that he wishes to remain in Ireland and boost the Irish film economy.All the classic ingredients of an amazing action film are contained in this mementous masterpiece: amazing CGI effects that were partly done on a Commodore 64, insane stunts, a beautifully narrative and the jaw-droppingly stunning Paudie Greene as the leading lady who, for some factual movie trivia, actually came 12th in the Limmerick Rural Lovely Gurls competition in 1997. It even stars Mickey Graham. The seminal pop-singer and 'Nice One' from Boyzone. Mikey shows why he replaced Colin 'Feckin' Farrell in the line-up and shows he can compete with anyone in front of the camera.This film was touted for the foreign film award at the Oscars and rightly so.From now on I will no longer be wearing my Megadeth t-shirt, but will be wearing the Fatal Deviation t-shirt I got for signing up to the fan club.Thank you, Fatal Deviation....the lessons learned from this film can, if watched by more people, boost this country's economy single-handedly out of recession and allow me to continually drink Dark Destroyers while watching this film.
Before I seen this film my life wasn't worth living, I had lost my job, my girlfriend left me for my granddad and Im ashamed to admit, I was thinking about committing suicide.A friend recommended I watch this, and I was sceptical at first, but it was the best thing I've ever done. This film taught me some life lessons that I have encompassed into my lifestyle. I now run my own company with a multimillion pound turnover, my girlfriend is a 19 year old model and I owe it all to this film.Thank you Fatal Deviation, than you so much.And thank you James Bennet, you are a modern day sage in the mould of Socrates with your wisdom.
Ultra-cheapo Irish martial arts movie, shot on VHS with amateurism running through it from head to toe. If the slightly threadbare Irish aspect of 'Father Ted' ever raised a smile then you should definitely give this a look.There's nothing in this film that you could consider in any way professional or competent. The acting stinks, it's badly dubbed, the action scenes are arthritic, the dialogue feeble, the direction barely qualifies as such and the whole thing makes very little sense at all.However.I don't think I've ever seen anything quite as entertaining in my life, and not even in a "so bad it's good" sort of way. It's impossible to explain - but it works, it just works. A quite amazing movie.There's rumoured to be a 10th anniversary festival this year in the village of Trim where it was made. If it pans out, I'm there - if only to meet the incredible James Bennett!
