Leave your thoughts about Cardboard Gangsters.
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Aine O'ConnorA film about drug dealers isn't to everyone's taste, but this is a well-made, gritty drama that doesn't glamorise anything or judge anyone, and all to a thumping soundtrack. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeO'Connor has - helped in no small measure by a towering turn from Connors - come as close to a Dublin Boyz n the Hood as we could have hoped. It's noisy, loud, violent and sad. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe film is crackingly done, with a bleak humour when needed and a black savagery when not. |
| Hot PressRoe McDermottO'Connor thrusts the viewer into not just the action, but also its severe ramifications. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonSalty, funny, and enlivened by some fantastic Dublin rap music, Cardboard Gangsters has a rare authenticity in terms of its subject matter and location. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawO'Connor puts the pedal to the metal with this picture and drives it like he stole it, as they say - with some exhilarating results. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterConnors' compelling performance creates a degree of sympathy for Jason however the film seems a little too fond of his brutality and casual misogyny. |
| Observer (UK)Simran HansThe violence isn't played for laughs and Connors's performance is genuinely moving, though there's an irresistible sprinkling of salty, vulgar humour to lighten the otherwise bleak mood ... |
| Radio TimesTrevor JohnstonIt manages the trick of respecting the aspirations of those left behind by the Celtic Tiger economy while handing out a few tough lessons on the cost of responsibility. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonMark O'Connor's film is a formulaic, but confidently handled gangster flick set in the rock-hard Darndale district of north Dublin. |
