Amongst the Wolves

Another disappointing paddy film stupid tired story line plagued with stereotypical cliches. If you have any free time do not waste this thinking it's anything like Kin . It's not it's utter dug meat . I have had better trips to the dentist than this . In fact I once for probed by an alien in a very vivid dream ( or was it 🤔) that felt better than I did after watching this codswallop . Do yourself a favour of your thinking of watching this don't get yourself 8 beer a baseball bat and smash it off your shins it will give you momentum pleasure than realising you watched this monstrous production till the end . Your sincerely Graeme no life Smillie.

As per the title, the acting was vastly amateurish (particularly the young main character) to go along with an old, done to death theme.

Obviously extremely cheaply made but it absolutely.

With this type of movie there should be a connection to the characters from the viewer but poor acting and direction made that impossible.

A lot of 10 ratings in the reviews, one can only assume they have come from people connected to the movie, or connected to the people who are connected to the movie. There is absolutely no way whatsoever that this is anywhere near the high marks.

Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.

This Irish film genuinely took me by surprise - a compelling and emotionally rich story that had me hooked from the opening scenes. The performances were incredibly authentic, especially from the lead, who brought real depth to the character. The film's mood is haunting in the best way, lingering in your mind long after the credits roll. Visually, it's stunning - the direction and cinematography really highlight both the rugged beauty and underlying tension of the environment. What stood out most was its honest portrayal of working-class life, something rarely explored with such sensitivity and realism in modern cinema. The cast is outstanding, and it was a real treat to see John Boy from Love/Hate in a role like this. Absolutely worth watching - a standout Irish drama that deserves more attention.

Excellent movie. A gripping Irish crime thriller which had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end! Great performance from Aidan Gillen as always. It was also refreshing to see some newer Irish talent on screen - overall a very well cast movie. The story line was powerful with some interesting twists. While the movie is packed with intense, action packed moments, it also features raw, emotionally charged performances that give the story real heart and depth. My favourite Irish movie in a long time! Particularly loved that it was filmed around Dublin. Would highly recommend giving it a watch.

Decent story of a veteran dealing with PTSD, bad luck and bad people. This story has been told many times, rarely breaking new ground in the crime genre, only this felt more real than most. The low budget helps capture Dublin's grim urban landscapes with damp streets, dirty canals, dimly lit alleys that present a mood and create the right amount of tension. If you are entertained by depictions of urban despair and the gritty side of life and are not expecting a polished, high-budget thriller and you don't need a tidy happy ending you'll probably like it. If you're into happy sappy endings this definitely isn't it.
