Hooked on laughs in Dublin

Headrush

Director: Shimmy Marcus

Cast: Wuzza Conlon, Gavin Kelty, Steven Berkoff, Laura Pyper

Cert: 16

We are back with the Dublin underworld of drugs, losers, hopeless love and general psychos; the tourist industry just loves this sort of thing!

OK, so it's actually a passable wee film, full of chuckles, well directed and acted; but enough already!

We have as a central character, drug-fuelled Charlie (Conlon) being hounded by girlfriend (Pyper) to raise the folding stuff for somewhere to live. He hits on the idea of bringing in drugs from Holland for a Dublin gang boss (Berkoff) with the usual sort of complications.

While the plot manages to contain several elements it nevertheless brings us nothing truly original.

Star Rating: 2/5
