The producers were probably caught in a bit of conundrum here Muff. On one hand, I'm sure they would have liked to select a handsome star from Mayo with a local accent for the sake of authenticity. On the other hand, where the fack would they find one of them? So they opted for a good looking Dub with a ropey accent. They have a movie to sell and it would be a tough gig trying to market it with nothing but scaldy culchie heads on the poster. 

For the record, I really enjoyed it. Jesus it is bleak though. 

Fair enough LOL

This is supposed to be set in the 1920's? LOL
Yes, during the civil war as referenced in some of the lines and the canon fire on ‘the mainland’.

I saw it a couple of weeks back and really liked it.  I think in time the humour element of it may take away from it as a serious film.
Hard the beat The Field in fairness for Richard Harris's performance alone.

Seen it on Saturday - quite poignant if not melancholy. Leading actors very strong performances particularly Keoghan, nice cameos by Shortt and Kenny back together again. Good script. 7.5 out of 10.

As has been said on the thread the scenery was stunning.

Some fine performances in it and probably play well in the states.
Thought The Guard was awful.

Wash your mouth out LOL classic
Watched it yesterday thought it was very good, didn't think there were than many jokes TBH and it does take a very bleak turn towards the end. More like Cavalry than The Guard ( thought that was woeful) but a very good watch. 8/10.
