A story about murder, blackmail, and drug-trafficking set in rural Ireland and replete with humor and surprises. Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is the marching-to-his-own-drummer cop, and the always watchable Don Cheadle is straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett. It's a marvelous film, although, I must confess the Irish accents had me straining to catch the nuances of the dialogue. I'm looking forward to being able to watch it with English subtitles. Gleeson very much deserved his Golden Globe Best Actor nomination for this film.
