I Went Down (1997 Paddy Breathnach)

Irish comedy drama, written by Conor McPherson. Standing up for his mate David Wilmot (Shadow Dancer, Calvary), ex con Peter McDonald is forced by crime boss Tony Doyle to locate missing man and money - and he's accompanied by himself dodgy Brendan Gleeson, in uproarious sideburns. When they find the man, he turns out to be a chatty liar, Peter Caffrey. With Antoine Byrne, Michael McElhatton.

Good, understated performance from McDonald, who's been in The Batman, The Dig, The Stag etc. Gleeson more ebullient but great fun.

Interestingly an early score from Dario Marianelli.



But - terrible title.
