Irish Ashes

For fans of films such as Layer Cake and Snatch, Irish Ashes is for you. Chris Shane Sanders writes and stars in the film as Tristan. Tristan has returned to the seedy British underground to settle old scores while looking for his sister. Scott Alan Ward and Claire Jared lead the narrative with terrific performances while the rest of the cast puts in a great shift that keeps the viewer glued to a plot full of twist and turns. Director Satnam Purewal litters the screen with great set pieces and quick pace scenes that keep the film flowing. Irish Ashes is a gut punch film that keeps audiences inhaling for breath up to the exciting final scene.

I went through other reviews before deciding whether to watch this, and THANK GOD I did!

I wisely watched the preview first, and let me tell You people: I wasn't even able to finish that!

Acting is really nonexistent... punch sounds, seem to have been added by a toddler banging mom's tupperware on something that shouldn't be hit with plastic kitchen storage utensils...

And I still need to type 200 characters more...

Typical questions:

• Who pays for this?

• Aren't there test screenings? I would understand if these had been done in ireland after a well spent afternoon in the pub, but still... pffff...

Minimum characters criteria met!

The acting is terrible but I figured I would give it a chance, it might get better.

For the life of me I couldn't figure out why they would of cast this guy to be the lead? And a mobster at that! Then I realized the writer cast himself lol.

Anyway I held in there for a bit however, the fight scenes are even worse. I think 3 stars is generous honestly.

I know there's only so much you can do with a small budget but it's important to get the basics right. A mobster movie, you'll be expecting an hard looking SOB and some intense fight scenes, instead we get a middle aged man who still lives at home with his mum fighting like Bruce willis without the special affects.

Acting was terrible,no suspense,no action. Fight scenes were staged by 3 year olds. Where did they find these people. Music in the background sounded like a funeral. Movement by actors was slow. This movie must of costed 50 cents to make. I bet the farm people will walk out after a few minutes. I love English movies but this looked like some kids made it at school by 12 year olds . No special effects. Stone faced actors never heard of any in this film. No plot no explanation why the main actor was doing. No people in the strip clubs. Bland bland bland. I would have given it a minus 0 .Dont waste ur time.

I can safely say this is one of the worst films I've ever seen( and I've seen a lot of terrible movies) The acting is so atrocious that to me it seems almost deliberate. As other people say, the fight scenes are dreadful, the lead is about as hard as Pee Wee Herman, and the so called mobsters make the copper on Balamory look like Dirty Harry. I just couldn't stop thinking, this must be a wind up surely?! I see some people giving it a high rating, they MUST be confusing it with something else. I only gave it 1 star because zero wasn't an option. I highly recommend that if anyone is considering watching this, don't, it'll just annoy you from start to finish.
