Yes, those Irish can mainly make good films.

We follow a young man who has just been released from prison, but then immediately forces things when he wants to see his child with his ex-wife. He may immediately flee again and as you can expect you go back to the roots you tried to avoid. But then a very strange gang of which he was a member. The Urban Cowboys who mainly perform their escapes via horses. Do we want to look like an Urban Western somewhere?

Fleeing from the police, they seek a target, namely the traitor. Meanwhile, Neil is still trying to heal ties with, for example, his mother. His sister is happy to see him and runs away from home with him... and that's not the only thing that makes everything from bad to worse.

It is a raw sketch of the Dublin underworld (but with horses), in which surrealism is never gone. For example, that one nymphomaniac horse owner, Neil's mother who comes out as a lesbian, Neil's father... In addition, Crush Proof piggybacks on the hipness of the 90s. Characteristic are of course the soundtracks.

Fine movie.

4.0*
