North Sea Connection

OK, actors were pretty good. Especially the main actress. The Lenny character was overplayed. THe other females were somewhat forgettable.

The main gang leader was somewhat typical, nasty but so erudite.

I had trouble with the main male actor who owned the fish plant. He was the spitting image of the singer Michael Buble and that made it hard for me to accept him as real. I kept expecting him to sing.

Story was pretty good. Well paced. But the ending was cut short and we were left to guess how things concluded. It was as if there was another Series in the works and we would have to watch it to find out how everyone fared. In future. That was the worst part of the Series.

One thing that bothers me is that so many of these Irish productions are all crime based, violent and gritty, often with ties to the IRA history. It leave me with a desire to NOT visit Ireland in future. It all seems so bleak, not withstand that the countryside and ocen views are often lovely.

Finally, I woder how many drug smugglers will look to this movie as a guide to hiding drugs? The method of hiding them for transportation was very sneaky.
