Just watched this film in The Gate Cinema - it was actually a better watch than I thought it would be, despite the complete miscasting of Mick McCarthy.
7/10

Who would you have perfered to play Micko, Yermon?

That guy is actually a better Roy Keane than Hardwick and McSavage is a better Mick.

Watched it last night. Thought it was fairly shit, to be honest. The team meeting scene had a decent bit of tension in it but the rest of it was far too full of soundbite and montage. There was a load of real footage in it too which made it a docu-drama.

Oh, and Mick was made out to be a bumbling idiot. There was no need for all the stuttering from Coogan.

Yeah from the previews it didnt look great.

Tbh its probably been one of the most forensically dissected events in recent Irish history and extensively covered in numerous books and documentaries.

I dunno is anyone going to glean anything new from a dramatisation. Maybe if youd just landed from Mars?.

To be fair to Éanna Hardwick, he probably did the best possible version of Roy Keane even though he doesn't really look anything like him.
