Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Liam Cunningham, David Wilmot, Rory Keenan, Mark Strong, Fionnula Flanagan, Dominique McElligott, Sarah Greene, Katarina Cas, Pat Shortt, Darren Healy

John Michael McDonagh writes and directs this Irish crime comedy.

Unconventional small-town policeman Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is less than pleased to find himself teamed up with rule-abiding FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) when he is called upon to investigate an international cocaine smuggling ring.

It soon becomes clear that the case is tainted with bribery and corruption but will they be able to make their partnership work in order to catch the bad guys?

Mark Strong, Liam Cunningham and David Wilmot co-star.
