Adam (Mark O'Halloran) and Paul (Tom Murphy) are two young junkies living in Dublin and perpetually on the lookout for their next fix. During their search, they encounter various unsavory characters and make some futile attempts at petty theft. As their day progresses, Adam and Paul get into a good share of trouble as they do whatever they can to score heroin, eventually running afoul of an imposing thug -- who only drags them into more shady activities.

PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro What Abrahamson gets so right is the tricky blend of quite remarkable comedy - mining an air both farcical and of the bleakly gallows variety - with a wider social critique. Rated: 4/5 Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
