Don Cheadle plays a straitlaced FBI agent who is in Ireland to bust a major international drug ring, he ends up teamed with small town cop who's crass to say the least and a bit of the wall. Brendan Gleason and Don Cheadle are in fine form in this caper that has brilliant dialogue and a satisfying ending. Not sure if non Irish types with get the piss taking that goes on here with race and all that, and subtitles won't help as they leave out words, listen carefully and enjoy.

Subtitles? are they speaking Gaelic or is their English so bad as to require subtitles?
