Broadsheet Movie Pitch: Kick Aras

Admin at 1:12 pm March 28, 2013

When disgraced Garda Bryan ‘Brian’ O’Brien (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) finds himself trapped in Áras an Uachtaráin after militant bankrupt builder ‘Big’ Jim McMenaminmin (Brendan Gleeson) holds the place to siege, it’s up to him to save the president (Finnoula Flanagan). Armed only with a Garda issue Uzi machine gun and his wits, O’Brien has to contend with McMenaminmin’s tooled-up workforce and the machinations of an oily Junior Minister (Domhnall Gleeson) whipping the media into a frenzy. Co-starring Liam Cunningham as the Garda Commissioner, Charlene McKenna as Bryan’s sassy love interest and Brian Gleeson as Squeebag, Kick Aras reminds us, once and for all, that NOBODY fools with the guards.

Too much Gleeson?

Not enough Gleeson?

YOU decide.

Pat Rabbitte at the Meath East by-election count centre in Ashbourne, Co Meath, this morning.

Elsewhere, Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte has conceded defeat for Labour, saying the party had taken the brunt of voters’ unhappiness with the economic situation.
He said: “I think it’s clear at this stage that Fine Gael will take the seat and that Labour has been singled out to bear the responsibility for the fact that so many people are hurting in the economy.”
