Is this entertaining enough?

Do we need a few release valves, some comedy set pieces?

It's like they never fully committed to making this movie what it should have been, which was, you know, it was 90 minutes.

It could have been a little bit longer.

We should have all walked out of that movie exhausted from having spent 100, 115 minutes with Roy Keane.

There should have been no release valve.

It should have been drama.

And what's more...

What's weird is, and I'd love to talk to Eanna Hardwicke, because a lot of scenes, obviously, of the tomfoolery are shot without him in it.

I'd say he... I don't know.

I'm sure he thinks it's good, and maybe I'm being unfair, but... This isn't the film he prepared for.

He would have been entitled at the premiere to go...

I'm in a different movie than these guys.

Yes, exactly.

Because he went for authenticity to the nth, not a hint of caricature.

He went for 3D, he went for depth, he went for seriousness.

Every scene he was in, he tried to bring a depth to, and this is like a drama.

And every other scene, like Dickie Maloney, the FAI CEO, I swear to God...

I swear, this is not an exaggeration, he is from Killing a Scully.

And so on the one hand, it's weird when Roy and Dickie Maloney have a conversation about the pitch, because it's like they're in two different movies.
