4/25: Colin Farrell and Colm Meaney in the same film?

Count me in. I like the Irish-heavy script; it's catchy and has funny parts. The characters are realistic with some terrific lines. They can be hard to understand from time to time. Although there's no story, it doesn't stop me from trying to put the pieces together. When they're finally into place, Intermission isn't an interesting movie after all.

I think the problem is Colin Farrell and Colm Meaney should've gotten more screen time. They are the best thing going. Shirley Henderson with the Ronnie is good, but her character becomes less effective over time. I'm not a fan of Cillian Murphy and don't think he's anything special. The rest of the cast is more or less on the mark. But why didn't they get Brendan Gleeson, too?

All in all, if you liked Pulp Fiction and Snatch, then give Intermission a try.
