Just finished watching this film and I don't know why everyone seems to dislike it.
This movie came out in 1988, so give it a break. It doesn't advertise itself as a mind-blowing, avant-garde masterpiece. It's a simple action thriller set in Ireland and it certainly satisfies those credentials.
Aside from some typically 80's gratuitous sex/violence moments (of which I have seen far worse from the genre) the film flowed fairly well and kept me entertained throughout.
The characters were fairly believable if you have lived anywhere on the British Isles and the locations are well chosen.
If you want to watch a movie to just kick back and pass some time, then this one will do the trick.
