Saxophonist Danny witnesses the murder of his band manager and a deaf-mute girl after a gig. Questioned by the police, he remembers only the orthopedic shoes of the killers' leader. So begins his quest to avenge them.
From memory: Compelling drama set amidst the topic of the Northern Ireland Troubles is an atmospheric character study (Stephen Rea excellent as the saxophonist/killer) amongst some great Irish settings.
Halliwell*: "Glumly Irish thriller with metaphysical overtones as well as references to the State of Ireland. Kenn narrative style is dissipated by overkill."
Maltin**: "Ambitious but pretentious, unrelentingly dreary melodrama..."
