Perrier's Bounty Reviews
Perrier’s Bounty feels several steps away from achieving the style it aspires to, leaving the audience indifferent if mildly entertained by the talented actors in material that's beneath their abilities.

In truth, it's not awful, just utterly obvious.
| Original Score: 4/10 | May 19, 2021
At times, O'Rowe and Fitzgibbon appear to be straining too hard for effect, but at its best the film has a cartoonish vitality. The plot may be all over the place, but the cast relish O'Rowe's salty dialogue

...boasts an impressively fast-paced opening half hour that's heightened by the uniformly agreeable performances.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 4, 2010
This is one of those time-killer movies that definitely goes well with a pint of Guinness.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 15, 2010
Perrier's Bounty is all stock material, full of characters that deserve more than the cliched shootouts and showdowns that befall them. Even the movie's most natural impulses seem to come from a can.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 15, 2010
A bit of underworld blarney from the Old Sod, "Perrier's Bounty" is another darkly comical-philosophical Irish gangster movie. The film, directed by 온라인카지노추천 veteran Ian Fitzgibbon and scripted by Mark O'Rowe ("Boy A"), doesn't quite work.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 9, 2010
A festival favorite, Perrier's Bounty is one of those comedic British crime thrillers I just can't quite figure out what the fuss is all about.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 8, 2010
A fast-paced and enjoyable if violent diversion that revels in its quirky characters, committed performances and involving twists.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2010
An uneven mix of conventional caper and sentimental hooey, but there's no denying a certain quotient of fun.
Full Review | Jul 6, 2010
A routine yarn, easily forgotten.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2010
Bang, bang; smack, smack; run, run; bang, bang. That's the essence of Perrier's Bounty, with brief stops for romance and dog-killing.

Enough already with the Guy Ritchie knock-offs.
Full Review | May 27, 2010
Charming and cynical, violent and sweet, well-made and offbeat...Perrier's Bounty is an entertaining film that doesn't take itself seriously.
| May 24, 2010
A moderately engaging, but uneven hodgepodge of comedy, action, drama and romance that lacks surprises, imagination and palpable thrills. It's barely saved by lively characters and all-around solid performances.
| Original Score: 6.26/10 | May 23, 2010
It's an effective genre piece, propelled by the strong performances of Cillian Murphy, Jodie Whittaker and especially Jim Broadbent.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 23, 2010
A hectic, ultraviolent romp that is inordinately pleased with its own sardonic nihilism.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 21, 2010
Not designed to blend in and yet lacking the extra inch to distinguish it from its better-known kin, Perrier's Bounty is content to merely measure up.
| Original Score: 7/10 | May 21, 2010
Watching this movie lunge this way and that is like being at a bar while a guy with the widest smile and the busiest gestures keeps telling you all about this fantastic Martin McDonagh play he sort of remembers, and how this happened...
