... that is, if you wanna see Neeson and Hoskins act Rourke off the screen... Fallon is the first depiction of an IRA man I've ever encountered who sounds Scottish at times, (his woodland encounter with Docherty) and looks like Mel Gibson's version of William Wallace! The accent is doubly frustrating as far as Mickey goes, too, because he gets it right occasionally, but never stays consistent from one line to the next! 2/10.

I remember realizing my life was gonna be completely bleak without you...

There are a few Northern Irish posters on the boards here who say his accent is pretty representative of that region. There are different dialects and accents in that country, just like every other country.
