Gabriel Byrne

OK, the film is uncomfortable and a bit basic, but anyone who loves and I mean loves Gabriel Byrne, will really want to watch this movie. Lots of very moody shots of him doing what he does best and thats looking dark, Irish and quite lovely. A bit of a strange plot, but he stands out in his film.

Amanda Donoghue is excellent, and the back drop of London and the English country side is an important part to the film.

You don't actually identify with anyone to like in this film, however as previously mentioned if you are an avid 'Gabriel' watcher, then this one is for you.

I made sure to create a good relaxed feeling on the set."
