Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

col-macara It's as simple as that: take your classic heist movie, an Irish context, lots of unexpected situation and a real Murphy's law rampage.The movie is fine, entertaining, with a handful of punchlines that made me laugh.Acting is more than good, with veterans alongside young, very young and child actors all doing a great job.This is not a masterpiece nor will never become a cult, it's just a nicely made funny wee movie you won't regret watching.Have a pint, sit back and enjoy it.

Claudio Carvalho In Belfast, the criminal Mad Dog Flynn (David O'Hara) cannot have a baby with his girlfriend. The gambler Jimbo (Martin McCann) has a baby and owes five thousand dollars to Mad Dog. The gangster proposes to exchange the debt for the baby and Jimbo decides to heist the Fish Market with his friend Sox (Conor MacNeil) using an automatic weapon from the IRA that belongs to Sox's grandfather. Meanwhile, the American Joe Maguire (Brendan Fraser) flees from his wife, whose father is a powerful mobster in Boston, and comes to Belfast to run his cousin's antique business. Joe dates his neighbor Sophie (Yaya DaCosta) and notes that Jimbo is frequently staring at him on the street. The clumsy Jimbo steals a suitcase from the Fish Market without knowing that it belongs to Mad Dog. However his escape plan fails and he runs to Joe's store. However he accidentally shots his gun and the police puts the place under siege. When Jimbo tells to Joe that he might be his son, the American sympathizes with the hoodlum and decides to help him negotiating with the police. "Whole Lotta Sole" is a corny comedy lost in many unnecessary subplots. The story has a funny beginning and good gags but in a certain moment becomes boring and mawkish. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "O Negociador" ("The Negotiator")

Kaye Espinosa What a piece of crap! A kind of indie-film. A movie that doesn't makes the viewers enjoy each scene. Does not have an effect on viewers. Seriously, I almost fell asleep while watching this one. Only Brendan Fraser acts good above all of them. The gangsters doesn't exactly looks like a real gangster. That boy who robbed the shop has an awful acting skills. Plus some of the scenes has no significant to the story. It's as if the story can go on without those scenes. Like those three stooges who acts as a side-kick of the angry big woman. What the hell did they do? Except for selling the sofa to the antique shop, I think they could go on with filming without them being in it.

gagana Despite the low rating, I watched this because the storyline sounded interesting. Northern Ireland, crime, SAS...and a comedy. The plot is simple and you can work out most of what happens during the film. However, the script is entertaining, with a few laugh out loud lines. Colm Meaney plays his usual role, a dry, cynical detective. He has some of the better lines and generally carries the film. Brendan Fraser is fine but his role could have been developed further. Without giving things away, his background could have had more of an impact. He probably deserved to have more funny lines as well. Negatives - quite why the SAS are there I don't know. This could have been made into more of a story. Either make them contribute to the organised chaos, (making things worse or better, I don't mind), or omit them from the film entirely. This is probably more a British film than one for everybody. Perhaps the review which criticises the film is more the latter. I would give this about a 7/ 7.5 to be honest, watchable, enjoyable but not great.
