Ryan Kernaghan deserves awards for this movie
I saw this movie tonight as AMC’s Screen Unseen mystery movie, so I knew less than nothing about what I was getting into. Whether you like rap or not, see this movie for incredible cinematography.
I never considered looking for a cinematographer UNTIL I saw this movie
Spectacular. The story itself is very strong and makes you really respect the Irish and their love for their country, while having lots of laughs and not taking yourself too seriously.
It conveys a strong message of the importance of heritage
If you’re a proud Brit, it might be best to let this one go.
