    Just wondering if there has ever been any Irish Vigilante Films ?

    I'd love to see an Irish version of Harry Brown or Death Wish.

    Brendan Muldowney's Savage is the closest I can think of.

    No. According to IMDB he was in the Clinic a few times.

    Are you looking specifically for Fair City Vigilante Films?

    I would think that "Angel" fits the bill

    Neil Jordan film starring Stephen Rea

    Fatal Deviation



    Not quite Death Wish, but Mikey from Boyzone is in it!

    Another genre we dont have in Irish cinema is football hooligan films.

    Maybe there could be a gap in the market for an Irish hooligan film.

    The lead actor in Savage goes by the name of Darren Healy and you may know him from an infamous court case where Healy assaulted another person resulting in their death,
