Perrier's Bounty Reviews
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 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
Enough already with the Guy Ritchie knock-offs.
Full Review | May 27, 2010
A hectic, ultraviolent romp that is inordinately pleased with its own sardonic nihilism.

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...

There's no bounty to be plucked from Perrier's Bounty. The treasure chest has long since been emptied.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 19, 2010
Ivan Fitzgibbon's film is so steadfastly blithe that one yearns for a flicker of pretension, some small sign that there's a guiding principle or purpose.
| May 18, 2010
A would-be eccentric thriller not quite saved by Jim Broadbent's spectral, wacky performance.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2010
Assemble[s] a likable if flavourless comedy out of scraps of this and knocked-off bits of that.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2010
It keeps undercutting any suspense with long, turgid stretches of fugitive bickering.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 25, 2010
Generic gangland violence ensues, frustratingly overshadowing a far more engaging dynamic between father and son.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2010
There's no doubting the energy, but without Colin Farrell's fervour, or any novel spin, it's no more than treading water from this gang.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2010
Perrier's Bounty is still a pleasure to watch: not exactly memorable, but packed with enough intellect, incident and strong performances to justify the investment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2010
It's about as exciting as a two-part, coconut-flavoured snack chased down with a mouthful of mineral water.
