Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Despite its gritty urban textures and fine rock music score, "The Courier" lacks dramatic punch. Rated: 1/5 Aug 27, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Irish film about a delivery man who discovers his boss is involved in trafficing drugs and attempts to bring him down after his junkie friend dies. Pretty dreary film, much like the Irish weather by the looks of it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Street courier and former addict discovers his employer is making deliveries for a drug ring. It seems to hit too close to home, especially after his friend is found dead--unable to shake his own addictions. Slow moving Irish number fails to set itself apart but does feature some of Ireland's most famous artists on the soundtrack. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
