Trojan Eddie (Stephen Rea) sells stolen goods for John Power (Richard Harris), aging godfather of a local network of Irish gypsies, known as travelers. Having done time rather than inform on his partner in a failed burglary, Eddie now struggles to raise his two daughters alone. Power falls for and marries traveler girl Kathleen (Aislin McGuckin), but when she runs off with Power's nephew Dermot (Stuart Townsend) -- and takes the $11,000 dowry with her -- Eddie must track the couple down.

Quentin Curtis Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22
There is a relentlessness to Billy Roche's script which leaves us feeling as if we've spent a couple of hours having our faces ground into the dank Irish soil. Strong writing and acting struggle to compensate. Go to Full Review Quentin Falk Sunday Mirror (UK) Apr 22

10/07/2010 Highly atmospheric with nice leading performances, but the story is just too complicated and heavy-going for comfort, with too many characters and plot threads woven in. See more Read all reviews
