Pixie

If Quentin Tarantino and Guy Richie had a love child, this is it. I enjoy both these directors/writers and enjoyed this comic crime romp. No clever editing, just a fun tale well told.

I lost count of how many people got shot, I think it was 4 before the opening credits, that's why it's a 15 The comedy does fit in with the violence and drugs, somehow. There is some spectacular Irish scenery, that made it worth watching in the cinema. Overall, it's fun but a bit mixed up. It's not terrible.

Pixie is a simply to follow film. The three lead actors give great performances. I'd not watched the trailers before going in so seeing Alec Baldwin was a pleasant surprise, however he is very underused, only showing up late on then returning for the finale. Olivia Cooke is great as Pixie, her Irish accent very rarely slipping. The film is very well directed, the only place is falls down is towards the end the characters begin to make silly decisions and it becomes very predictable. However this film flows along very well at 1 hour 33 minutes and supplies some good laughs here and there, as well as utilising the stunning scenery.

This was overall a pretty solid crime film. It had comedy, some good action and a cute girl lead. Olivia cooke does a pretty good irish accent, so does alec baldwin for that mater. She is fantastic and adds so much character to the film. The run time is perfect to keep the film compact but at the same time helps it flow in a good way. The rest of cast I fell also add their own flares to their roles and even down to the shoot out in the church it is all pretty well done. Ben hardy and daryl.mccormac as our second leads are interesting and work well in the threesome dynamic. And lastly colm meaney who is always a fun addition to any cast. Overall I feel this film was fun and ticked all the right boxes.

The Location and scenery were great. A couple of the jokes were funny. But to be honest it felt like there wasn't a lot going on in the movie.
