PsychWardPatient After watching this movie I was depressed for the rest of the day. I hated it, it was boring. I didn't understand the story at all, it's possibly one of the worst movies that I have ever seen.

murphyalan This film is a joy to watch and should do well on DVD and video. I suppose you really have to be Irish to appreciate the some of the subtlties such as accent, colloquialisms and the dress sense of some of the characters but let me assure you that when Dylan Moran impersonates 'Barreler' the impersonation is quite familiar to most people from Dublin because we have many characters in our fine city that look, act and talk like that! The sheer simple comedy employed and Michael Caines genius acting alone are worth the money but on top of this the plot is great, the script is fantastic and the dialogue fast moving and catchy. A perfect light entertainment movie without the madcap humour of Jim Carrey.

Harriet_C_Dufresnes The plot drunkenly careers from silly to ridiculous and makes less and less sense as it nears the end. The photography isn't exactly the stuff of Oscars, either. I still can't see what the point of the little girl is. And the theme is, frankly, dreadful.Fortunately, there is a reason to see this film. The two Sir Michaels re - like the Richard III poster says - "Perfect-ly Adequate" but Dylan Moran is seriously good as Tom, and it was his performance that stopped me from walking out of the cinema. How frustrating to see his first major movie role be in such a dumb film. Here's hoping it doesn't stop him from getting the recognition (and the roles) he deserves!

Danny_G13 The Actors is never going to win any awards for originality, ingenuity or cinematography, but what it does do is to entertain without ever remotely taking itself seriously.Michael Caine (The Quiet American), Dylan Moran (Black Books), and Michael Gambon (The Singing Detective) star as 2 actors who are down on their luck, and one apparent gangster (Gambon) who the actors will try to exploit. Of course the scheme doesn't quite work out as planned, and the yarn spins out thereafter.All the players appear to enjoy themselves tremendously. Gambon and Caine especially give the impression of enjoying this light relief as a little break from their more 'serious' roles. And Moran is just excellent in comedy anyway as proven by the British TV comedy, Black Books. Forget what the critics say, this is a blast assuming you don't expect an intellectually stimulating comedy.Thumbs up.
