Going down for laughs
I Went Down.
I Went Down is an Irish gangster road movie. Git (Peter McDonald)
is just out of prison and is heart-broken at losing his
girlfriend to his best mate, Anto. His return to his local
proves to be the beginning of a comic adventure with non-stop
twists. By saving Anto from hammer-wielding hoods Git finds
himself in trouble with their boss, the local Mr Big.
Git and the hilarious hard man Bunny (Brendan Gleeson) are sent
on a mission to clear their `debts'. Their must kidnap a criminal
associate of Mr Big.
Frank, their kidnapping target, would talk his way out of
anything. Bunny, on the other hand, is often stuck for words
Together they make a ridiculously funny combination while Git
appears almost virginal in the presence of these well-worn
gangsters.
Git and Bunny find themselves alone and in danger, but an
unlikely partnership forms and the comedy just keeps coming.
I Went Down is definitely one to see - great performances from
Peter McDonald and Brendan Gleeson and an excellent soundtrack
accompany a memorable story.
