Look, I'm no expert on Irish accents. But truth be told listen to Brad Pitt's in "The Devil's Own" and you'll see what REALLY bad Irish accent sounds like.
There was a big run on Irish crime movies. This, the latter mentioned "Devil's..." "Patriot Games" "The Crying Game" and "State of Grace"
Here's one about mad bombing. About revenge and betrayal and deep roots. And it's pretty effective. IF...and it's a big IF, you are okay with 90's action style. Which is a weird pull considering it is a lot more realistic than the pea brains here who are okay with the Marvel universe (yeah, I hate comic book movies). And it is about suspense. Remember that?
Jeff Bridges does a pretty decent drunk Irishman slurring words and sweaty and looks like he reeks of Bushmills, whilst Tommy Lee Jones segued his brilliant "Under Siege" bad guy into a more deep dimensional bad guy.
It's a nostalgic flick for me, so take that for what it's worth, boy-o's!
