Cillian Murphy stars in this urban story about the journey in the search for true love. The fast pace of the movie holds the viewers attention fantastically well as we follow the lives of these highly likable characters(well maybe not Farrell but he is still compelling and hilarious to watch) while they search for love, happiness and the answers to life's complicated dilemmas. The violence and coarse language is matched by the tender and honest scenes. The film follows the lives of several different characters in contemporary Dublin and how their lives intersect. Kelly MacDonald, Shirley Henderson, Deirde O' Kane and Colm Meany add more weight to a highly talented cast. Cillian Murphy is great as the lovelorn rogue John while David Wilmot steals the show from his more famous co-stars as unlucky in love Oscar. Colin Farrell is well cast as the stereotypical Dublin scumbag which he seems to have great fun portraying. An ill-timed and poorly executed couple's break-up sets off a chain of events affecting everyone in town. With Irish guts and grit, lives collide, preconceptions shatter and romance is tested to the extreme.
