It is sure to appeal to a large audience in Ireland and abroad and I look forward to what all involved will show us next.
It explores themes similar to the director's previous films, King Of The Travellers, Stalker, and Between The Canals, and, like them, persuasively evokes the lives of marginalised people.
The idiom an "eye for an eye" has never rang more true.
Mark O'Connor's film isn't subtle, but it's made with swagger and its antihero fits the bill as a certain kind of crime-drama archetype: overambitious, stupid and doomed, he nonetheless has a crude poignancy.
Mark O'Connor's film is a formulaic, but confidently handled gangster flick set in the rock-hard Darndale district of north Dublin.
It manages the trick of respecting the aspirations of those left behind by the Celtic Tiger economy while handing out a few tough lessons on the cost of responsibility.
Audience Reviews for Cardboard Gangsters
Unnervingly realistic. Cardboard Gangsters is a tense look at gritty gang culture in Ireland.
