Vicious Circle

About This Movie

Vicious Circle dives into the gritty world of crime with a focus on Martin Cahill, a character who feels both charismatic and reckless. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as Cahill's heists unfold, especially that audacious art robbery. It has this raw, almost documentary-like feel, capturing the underbelly of Dublin’s criminal scene. The performances carry a weight that makes you both root for and resent Cahill. There’s not a lot of flashy effects, but the practical approach keeps things grounded; it’s all about the characters and their choices. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, and you can really feel the dangerous thrill of their world. Definitely not your typical TV movie vibe.
