Great Film overall

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Despite a promising first half No Saints for Sinners runs out of steam in the final half hour. The film tells the story of a member of the IRA (Mickey) who goes on the run(ending up in Los Angeles) after shooting one of his comrades while on a mission to retrieve some stolen drugs. Mickey is disillusioned with the movement for becoming involved solely in criminality (unlike the former days of both criminality and fighting the British). Like a lot of criminals his character is a paradox. He appears to have a conscious but it is wrapped up in his own sense of right. The man he shoots (Mercer) has no such compunction.The movie also has a certain inevitability about it - falling in with his new girlfriends seedy brother he gets sucked into helping the brother out of a predicament involving - you guessed it - drugs. As the story unfolds there is good character development and the story takes a predictable but believable arc. When the attempt is made to sell the narcotics to a Chinese buyer the film unravels as the scene is played with semi comedy mixed with violence. Then the inevitability kicks in as Mickeys past catches up with him.The direction is OK for such a low budget effort - if you really want to see bad camera work watch A Horrible Way to Die - believe me No Saints for Sinners was not that bad. The lead actor was born in Belfast- his accent and that of the Mercer character are wholly authentic.

Not really much to say on this film other than it is poorly written,other than the lead character the acting is dreadful. Direction and production is also dismal. The camera is constantly shaking I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but the result is poor. The plot has potential however the very obvious low budget and even lower acting talent result in quite painful viewing with the exception of one or two scenes. This is my first review and its a pity it has to be so negative but as a long time user of this site I felt a sense of duty to warn people of this film. I could recommend anyone to view this film. In fact I would not even accept this film if it were offered to me as free gift for buying a car wash at a petrol station.

I really enjoyed this film, there's a lot of action and enough events going on to keep you watching all the way through. Some dodgy camera movements now and again but what do you expect from a low budget film, if the story is good and the movie is watchable then its a low budget flick thats paid off! There's been a lot of mixed reviews about this film but due to the high expectations of the general public nowadays I can understand that major film buffs will dislike this film, but from a general film lover of all genres, types and budgets I personally felt this was a brilliant film and im proud to have it in my collection as a strong tribute to low budget films !

For a low budget production this seemed to do a decent job. It wasn't the greatest but it was plausible. The start of the movie was very strong and had me pumped. It was intense and felt like the rest of the movie was going to continue that way however, I was wrong and the intensity stopped there and it became more of a slow paced action movie. The actors are not well known but most of them did a good job. Directing was appalling. The shaky cam, dull close shots etc. If the directing was better this would could have been much better. The soundtrack choices were suitable for each scene and it seemed well placed. One thing that really bothered me was the accents. I am not an expert on Irish accents but it didn't feel right and seemed like the actors were trying a "wii" bit hard. Not a movie you will likely to remember or want to see again. I wouldn't advise anyone to watch this movie as I found nothing unique or worth watching.
