Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Brian J. Dillard
This screwball thriller may not shed much light on the issue of Irish sovereignty, but it sure turns Belfast into a great backdrop for giggles and gunfights. In a classic bait-and-switch, the film comes on like a light comedy about a hard-drinkin' gonzo journalist with a talent for pissing off both his editor and his wife, then veers sharply into murder, intrigue, and suspense. As columnist Dan Starkey, David Thewlis has great fun dispensing boozed-up one-liners in an Irish brogue while navigating the intertwined worlds of Northern Ireland's underworld and its political landscape. Several actresses shine in smaller roles, from Laine Megaw as Starkey's tight-lipped, long-suffering wife to Bronagh Gallagher as a fast-talking cab driver. Rachel Griffiths brings typical aplomb to a role that finds her alternating between a nun's habit and a nurse's uniform and toting a machine gun, while Laura Fraser's playful sensuality transforms the slain Margaret from a plot fulcrum to a memorable character. Ultimately, though, it's David Caffrey's deft disruption of genre conventions and Colin Bateman's wonderful characters that make Divorcing Jack such an offbeat pleasure.
