The Lieutenant of Inishmore [B+]

Warning: Although this is a comedy (DARK comedy, though) it is quite filled with gore. Lots of disquieting scenes about violence and torture, and the theatre finds it necessary (quite correctly) to put up a sign informing us that no animals were hurt during the performance of this show.

It's very funny. I really wanted to dislike this show. It's much more violent than I view myself as liking. But,.... It's very funny. No great thematic design here, just a fine evening's entertainment. ...if you can get past the blood, gore, and gun shots.
