Editorial Review:
Fifty-four characters and eleven storylines intersect with "dazzling" (San Francisco Chronicle) results in this "raucously funny and compellingly gritty" (BBCi) comedy. An ingenious tale of small-town delinquents, shady cops and warring lovers reunited by a bizarre kidnapping plan, Intermission is a dark, edgy, "very funny study of love, lust and petty crime" (Sight & Sound)!
Description of Intermission:
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
Intermission Reviews:
Hilarious comedy 
2009-09-07 - I just saw this film....thought it was very very funny. Non Irish people might have difficulty with the Irish accents,not to mention the "colorful"language. The story is full of surprises and it is great to see the quality of the acting in this terrific cast.......Ireland (and the movies) sure have changed since I lived in that country 40 years ago.....a great advancement
Great Irish stuff! 
2009-05-14 - 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.
Viewer be warned 
2009-02-10 - 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.
Can I get better service, NOT
2008-09-30 - I was very pleased with the movie Intermission. I received my product within (2) days and to order it was effortless. 2 Thumbs Up.
A Wonderful Place
2008-09-21 - 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.
