Trivia:
The film was shot on such a shoestring budget it actually came very close to running out of funds. moreGoofs:
During the scene shot at Balbriggan County, Dublin, a Northern Ireland Railways GM locomotive 113 passes in the background, with a passenger train. The sound dubbed in is a British Rail HST railcar set, which is quite different. The sound effect is also too short; most of the train passes silently. moreQuotes:
Dil: Ask to meet me again, Jimmy.Fergus: Do you think that's wise?
Dil: Nothing's wise.
Fergus: I didn't mean to hit you.
Dil: I know that.
Fergus: I kind of liked you as a girl.
Dil: Well that's a start.
Fergus: So I'm sorry.
Dil: So make it up to me.
Fergus: How?

Miranda Richardson was stunning as the vicious female terorrist, Jude, who tricks Stephen Rea with her beauty. Besides Miranda, the film was great. It left me awestruck! I had no idea Dil was a ??? I almost puked! The cast was great and so was the dark settings. Whitaker does great with his accent and the Scorpion and the Frog story! Rea was convincing as the troubled terorrist who hides out in London after Whitaker is killed. Jaye Davidson does a great job for a debut film.But that Miranda Richardson was downright sexy!
At first I got bored with the film but I stuck through it and so should you! You won't be disappointed!
NOTE: This film is not for general audiences. You must be prepared for anything when you see this!
