The Irish working class have always used what we in the English-speaking world consider profanity or vulgarity as punctuation rather than adverbs or verbs and it would seem that no one ever seems to be offended by their frequent sprinkling of F-bombs and other colorful word selections in their everyday speech.
Such is the case with "I Went Down," that I found on Amazon Prime, a delightfully funny, vulgar and at times violent film from director Paddy Breatnach about two unlikely ex-cons who are paying off debts to the local loanshark and are sent on a mission to Cork to capture and return the loanshark's former partner. During this "quest" the pair are constantly in and out of situations that can easily derail their "mission" and could jeopardize their standing with the loanshark, played to perfection by Tony Doyle, a man who appears to have little tolerance for error.
The two mismatched debtors, Git, played by Peter McDonald and Bunny, played by Brendan Gleeson embark on a riotous, violent and funny odyssey to capture and return Frank, played by Peter Caffrey to a not-so-surprising finish... or is it perhaps surprising after all?
My Rating: Three*** popcorns plus one very large box of Junior Mints. Film contains viloence, vulgar language and one brief sexual situation.
