The best way to describe Pixie is it's an Irish comedy western .
It stars Olivia Cooke ( Pixie) ,who to avenge her mother's death , masterminds a heist with two lads , they flee across Ireland from gangsters, take on her father and nasty step brother and confront a bunch of psychopathic priests .
I have to say I was really disappointed with this . Considering it has Alec Baldwin , Ned Dennehy and Colm Meaney in it , I was expecting something with far more substance but instead , all I got was a ridiculously over the top , not very funny , comedy.
The best thing about the film is Olivia Cooke . Her character is clever and she users her charm to manipulate the two boys well but even that charm wears off after a a while for the viewer .
The climax of the film , in the church is utterly ridiculous . Director Barnaby Thompson tries to nurture his inner Tarantino but fails miserably I'm afraid , although it is interesting to see Alec Baldwin with a gun in his hand !
If you are considering watching this - Stop . Go find a film called Calm With Horses instead - Also set in Ireland but one hundred times better than this caper .
