The rough-edged vitality of contemporary Irish filmmaking is readily apparent in Intermission, a deliriously ambitious black comedy in which 54 characters and 11 plotlines compete for consistently impressive screen-time. In a dazzling display of audacity, screenwriter Mark O'Rowe and first-time director John Crowley jump from one plot to another, tangling their characters in an infectious series of intersecting events, shifting from scenes of brutal violence, poignant compassion, and richly dark humor, and somehow managing to make it all fit together in a miraculously coherent tapestry of romance, crime, and authentic Dublin atmosphere. Colin Farrell and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine alumnus Colm Meaney are the familiar stars here, and they're in peak form on native soil, but the entire cast shines in equal measure, all of them playing malcontents striving for something better in a world that's simultaneously harsh and hilarious. From start to finish, Intermission is so full of surprises that you'll want to see it twice, just to marvel at the way its puzzle fits together. --Jeff Shannon

 Great Irish stuff! May 14, 2009
Igor L. Krasnov (Duluth,MN)
I saw this film accidentally on TV in Finland and have been looking for it for some time since. I found it at Amazon at a very attractive price. I now own it and love it. Incredibly funny, with salty Irish humor and unpredictability.

Not even worth 1 star. Couldn't get past the first 15 minutes. For one thing I couldn't understand what they were saying and what I could understand was the 'f" word used about every other word. The brutality and crassness of the movie was way overboard. Maybe the edited version for TV can be watched but not this version. Call me a prude but if this is what the movie watching crowd wants heaven help us all.

Enjoyed the interaction of characters and I thought Colin Farrell was his usual best. It all makes sense in the end and getting there is half the fun. A must see/ a must buy film.

"Intermission" is a colorful, gritty mosaic of intersecting lives in Dublin, populated by parted lovers, petty thieves, and macho policemen. Director Crowley overlays all the silly, sordid goings-on with a palpable affection for his various characters, which makes the black comedy go down easier. Meaney stands out in a hilarious turn as an egotistical, street-hardened cop who wants his own reality show. Smart, fast and fun, you'll enjoy sitting through this "Intermission."
