Eine Kleinstadt an der Westküste Irlands. Ex-Profiboxer Douglas 'Arm' Armstrong (Cosmo Jarvis) erledigt für die Verbrecherfamilie Devers die Drecksarbeit. Der Mann mit dem massigen Körperbau ist der beste Kumpel von Dympna (Barry Keoghan), dem zukünftigen Oberhaupt der Familie. Dass er für Drogengangster arbeitet, stört empfindlich die Beziehung zu seiner Ex-Freundin und ihrem autistischen Sohn. Als er von den Devers den Auftrag für einen Mord erhält, muss sich Arm entscheiden, welchen Weg er einschlagen will... (Plaion Pictures)

A gritty crime drama set in rural Ireland, filmed not far from my place. The story centres on an ex-boxer and his partner (the excellent Barry Keoghan, from Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer), outsiders to society who deal with drugs. Trouble arises when their boss orders them to kill a man, something that will mark them irrevocably. A gritty film from a gritty setting that has drive, well-written characters, a chilling atmosphere, a dose of emotion and a necessary dose of violence. I was very satisfied. Story****, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 7.5/10.

Big heart and loyal skin. The first one gets into it, the second one provides support. An interesting oscillation between a social drama and a rustic gangster story emerging from the Irish wilderness. It heads in a predictable direction, but the level of violence in the finale is surprising. The weathered Dennehy, Jarvis’s bull-like neck, and Keoghan, who is traditionally on the receiving end, all carry it responsibly, but let’s admit that without Blanck Mass's electronics, the emotional pump would be running at half capacity.
