"A would-be eccentric thriller not quite saved by Jim Broadbent's spectral, wacky performance." - Bill Weber

In spite of a basic plot and somewhat uninspired cinematography, "Perrier's Bounty" is redeemed by its very witty dialogue and amazing cast members - who are CLEARLY enjoying themselves immensely!

I've recenty seen Brendan Gleeson's stellar performance in The Guard, which was a blast, the funniest film I've seen in a long time. This is the director Fitzgibbon's debut, and sadly it's amateurish and prententious. One of the most stupid and iritating voice-over narrations in film history. The main problem is that it tries too hard to be seen as not taking itself seriously. It reminds me of Big Lebowski, not similar to the film per se, but tries to do similar things (and fails).

A decent little yarn but I'll still not sure how it got the cast it did, given most of everyone Irish and good is in this. Still, passes the time well.
