If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is a film that could of been much more interesting by tapping in on the local flavor and delving into deeper levels of mystery. It has good bones but fairly one dimensional. Alot of the characters had a disconnect in relationship to each other and the story plot. You just get bits and pieces of some of them and feel nothing from their role in the movie. It makes them kind of pop into the movie then that's it..The ending wasn't a surprise for me. Not that I suspected it, but because I was initially weary of that character. I liked seeing the location, and that could of been more elaborated on also.. This is a movie that has good premise from the initial idea, but falls flat in execution. Would like to see a remake of this, with more suspense and bite to it.

Watched this on Netflix because I usually enjoy films with an Ireland setting. The filmmakers covered all the stereotypical Irish bases with music and scenery, but it often had nothing to do with the film itself. Recently went to Ireland, and never heard anyone break out into spontaneous song in one of the pubs, but is seemed to happen regularly in this film. Of course, 'Oh Danny Boy,' a song that isn't even Irish, was covered. I think they also set a record for use of the words 'lads' and 'grand.' The acting, particularly when anger is conveyed, is over the top bad, and each character gets angry at some point. The ending makes absolutely no sense, as no motive whatsoever is presented, and as another viewer noted below, the girl's death would have been easily classified as a homicide with any investigation whatsoever.This is a b-level thriller at best, but only watch it for the comic relief.

Terrible dialogue that would barely be convincing on the page, appalling acting - especially from the bit parts that immediately lessen the impact of a group of amateurs doing their very best, and sloppy camera work that appears to have been filmed kit borrowed from a nearby wedding. Worse still, this is overloaded with Irish stereotypes to the point of being laughably offensive. Still, thank you Netflix for being such a reasonably priced service so I didn't have to pay top dollar for this garbage, though I do wonder how on earth it managed to find its way onto the service in the first place.Avoid unless you're drunk and feel like watching a predictable "thriller" written by children and performed by card board boxes.

I have to disagree with the reviewer who wrote, "cinematography is quite beautiful, showing off Waterville, Ireland" as it seems they never caught Ireland on a sunny day - or even a sunny moment. All the colors are bleak - not something that would do Ireland's rep any good. As to the acting - tho it's early in her career - I was annoyed at Ms. Katic's mannerisms - or perhaps how the director chose for her to do... but she was constantly flipping her hair into her face and then dramatically pulling it aside, her mouth (as well as the other actors) always hanging open (I mean - really annoying) and then her putting on her "research" side with hair pulled back, nerdy glasses and attentive, mouth open, hair flipping dramatic...wait...wait... wait for it... and ... nothing - just a scene with her doing some intensive, serious nothing. She barges in on people, brash, rude, and using really unnecessary vulgar language. The screenplay is weak, as is the dialogue. So, so much more should have been done with this play. Then - the ending - while predictable ... the only ones seemingly NOT in the know are the participants in the screenplay. Sad.
