A 2011 movie set in Connemara Ireland with Brendan Gleason as a policeman and Don Cheadle as an FBI Agent following a 500 million in drugs being smuggled into Ireland.
It's a funny movie -- half serious, half comedy.
Brendan Gleason is quite a cop. he gets prostitutes and does bad things, helps smuggle guns to the IRA -- anything but straight, however, when his partner gets murdered, things begin to happen and really happen.
However, if you watch, the British accents are multitudinous and sometimes hard to understand. So you need to listen close.

Hmmm, filmed in County Galway and County Wicklow. I'll need to look for that to add to my collection of movies filmed in Ireland. I have one called Leap Year that was totally unrealistic. They drove clear across Ireland and didn't see a single sheep. Impossible!

LEAP YEAR was a silly romantic comedy. It's too cute for its own good.
I liked the countryside and the scenery. I liked the accents, too.
