| | Movie Haiku: | Irish cop (Gleeson) hit once by his mother''s illness & again by the arrival of a no-nonsense FBI man (Cheadle) must decide if he still has the stuff to take a stand. He''s a man''s man who genuinely loves women, & Flanagan (as Mom) & Cas (as a widow briefly encountered) are both luminous. This Irish charmer is fast & funny, with a delciously bittersweet aftertaste. |
