Headrush

About This Movie

Headrush is this quirky little gem from 2003 that dives into the chaos of Dublin's post-Celtic Tiger era. It's a crime comedy that follows two aimless young guys, completely lost in their cannabis haze, who get tangled up in a drug smuggling scheme. The pacing feels a bit erratic, mirroring the characters' disordered lives. There’s this raw, almost gritty atmosphere that plays well with the comedic beats, and the humor isn’t over-the-top but rather situational—rooted in their misadventures. Performances are pretty solid, capturing that essence of youthful disillusionment with a sprinkle of absurdity. Not your typical crime movie, it really stands apart with its blend of light-heartedness and darker themes.
