PhoenixZouave, you obviously haven't seen Triage, an Irish film,never screened in America. It is a film based on Scot Anderson's novel. It tells the story of a photojournalist returning from covering the 1988 Kurdistan war and suffering from PTSD. Lots of very graphic war scenes, and the agonizing discovery of what actually happened there, that caused his condition. Directed and scripted by Danis Tanovic, you don't see films like this coming out of Hollywood. The independant films Colin Farrell has done in Ireland and England or Belgium[In Bruges] are much better that any work hollywood has to offer. Martin McDonagh and Colin Farrell had a great relationship with InBruges and I expect nothing less than that from them on this film. Ever since he stepped on the stage at the prestigous Donmare warehouse theatre in London,in "A Little World of Our Own" and received rave reviews on his role of an autistic teenager[with out a word of dialog]when he has outstanding material with which to work. When you only see American films you only part of the picture.
I seem to have left out the important part that Colin Farrell, starred in and executive produced Triage.
PhoenixZouave, you've obviously not seen Triage, an Irish film Farrell both starred in and excutive produced, which tells me you are American. Like In Bruges, another independant film. Martin Mcdonagh is an Irish treasure, and the only playwright to have 3 hit plays running at the same time in London. Since he, and Colin Farrell had a winning relationship with In Bruges I expect nothing less from them on this film, Farrell did win the Golden Globe for his role as Ray in In Bruges.
Mickey Rourke will act Farrell under the table. Rourke is a talented, serious actor who wasted much of his career fighting the Hollywood Moguels. Now he has seen the light as reflected in "The Wrestler!"
