Rank (2011)
A darkly comic thriller set in the grim, seething and sometimes hilarious criminal world of Dublin’s suburbs. Carl, an overweight Dublin taxi driver, owes Jackie Farrell three grand in gambling debts. Jackie wants the money and he wants it now, not least because an armed robbery he masterminded has just gone badly wrong. From there, it all goes downhill for Carl and his father-in-law George.
