Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It is a performances centric movie

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Despite a promising first half No Saints for Sinners runs out of steam in the final half hour. The film tells the story of a member of the IRA (Mickey) who goes on the run(ending up in Los Angeles) after shooting one of his comrades while on a mission to retrieve some stolen drugs. Mickey is disillusioned with the movement for becoming involved solely in criminality (unlike the former days of both criminality and fighting the British). Like a lot of criminals his character is a paradox. He appears to have a conscious but it is wrapped up in his own sense of right. The man he shoots (Mercer) has no such compunction.The movie also has a certain inevitability about it - falling in with his new girlfriends seedy brother he gets sucked into helping the brother out of a predicament involving - you guessed it - drugs. As the story unfolds there is good character development and the story takes a predictable but believable arc. When the attempt is made to sell the narcotics to a Chinese buyer the film unravels as the scene is played with semi comedy mixed with violence. Then the inevitability kicks in as Mickeys past catches up with him.The direction is OK for such a low budget effort - if you really want to see bad camera work watch A Horrible Way to Die - believe me No Saints for Sinners was not that bad. The lead actor was born in Belfast- his accent and that of the Mercer character are wholly authentic.

A solid Saturday afternoon film. Nothing Oscar worthy here, but 90mins of mindless movie fun.Mainly about a IRA guy who gets in trouble in Belfast then must flee to Los Angeles (odd place, but that's where the producers live I guess) Once in LA he tries to begin a new life, only to pick up where he left off. Living the way of the gun. It catches up with him, along with his past. The film has great characters, we meet a lot of interesting LA drug lords, not very typical ones either. From a black flower shop owner (Keith David) who is one of my favorite actors BTW to a Chinese restaurant owner to Mexican thugs. The lead Mickey who was amazing has to deal with all these cats. The leading lady was OK, could of been hotter. And the brother Jimmy was kind of annoying. But I guess he is suppose to be. The tone went from realistic to hyper real, the film was stylized nicely. The director chose the rights shots and fished some great performances.

I really enjoyed this film, there's a lot of action and enough events going on to keep you watching all the way through. Some dodgy camera movements now and again but what do you expect from a low budget film, if the story is good and the movie is watchable then its a low budget flick thats paid off! There's been a lot of mixed reviews about this film but due to the high expectations of the general public nowadays I can understand that major film buffs will dislike this film, but from a general film lover of all genres, types and budgets I personally felt this was a brilliant film and im proud to have it in my collection as a strong tribute to low budget films !

Before watching this film I was very skeptical, a lot of low budget films really do disappoint, bad acting, no real plot-line, nothing to keep the viewer hooked, but I thought id give this film the benefit of the doubt. After viewing it I sat back and thought wow, a low budget film that doesn't actually suck, Rick Crawford is Irish born so naturally the accent comes easy enough to him, the other cast I know for a fact weren't all Irish so their accents seemed a bit forced and un natural. Apart from that I thought the film was superb, Rick Crawford plays a great part supported by 2 industry Powerhouses in the form of Keith David ( There's Something About Mary) and James Cosmo (Troy, Braveheart). The action and fighting scenes are gritty, the storyline doesn't drop off, its simplistic and easy to watch and the film plays out at a much higher standard than the budget would suggest. I really enjoyed this film personally and I've re-watched it since as I liked it that much. A must buy for action junkies or crime fans. A really well done film and a very promising opening film from Actor Rick Crawford. 10/10 for me purely because of its exceeding my expectations of what a low budget flick should be.
