	Author	Review
	Davide Abbatescianni Cineuropa	"An excellent, entertaining flick that organically combines action, comedy, drama and romance"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The storytelling is a little elliptical and there are a few EastEnders moments. But this picture from feature first-timer Paddy Slattery has loads of energy and belligerent moxie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Hugh Whelan Film Ireland	"A refreshing taking on the often predictable 'cop film' narrative (...) Captivating and moving throughout, Slattery’s film is not to be missed"	POS
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"An atmospheric but flawed Irish gangster film (...) The narrative is economic to the point of stinginess. A few cogs seems to be missing from the machine (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	Paddy Kehoe RTÉ	"A strikingly engaging movie with an interesting premise for a compelling story of two brothers (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"Unexpectedly funny and sweet (...) The quality of acting and script are very good for what is evidently quite a low budget project (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
