This picture from feature first-timer Paddy Slattery has loads of energy and belligerent moxie.

As debut films go, Paddy Slattery has much to be proud of - he seamlessly weaves the threads of a story into a cohesive and believable plot to make Broken Law a film well worth viewing.

Paddy Kehoe
RTÉ (Ireland)
A tale of two brothers on opposite sides of the law that's unexpectedly funny and sweet

Hugh Whelan
Film Ireland Magazine
Broken Law has everything one wants in a thriller. It feels contemporary to Ireland now. It has characters and a narrative hook audiences can invest in. It alternates between humour and tension effectively, with a dash of romance as a garnish.
