Local film-maker Johnny Gogan's first feature since Mapmaker (2001) describes a shady black market world where everyone, it seems, is on the take.
Jane McGrath gives a mesmerising performance as Alice, a young girl traumatised by the death of her brother, while Love/Hate's Killian Scott has the requisite charisma for Jimmy, the loner who lures Alice in. The white-knuckle night races are convincingly staged while the pulsing soundtrack captures the adrenaline rush of the chase on these haunting, blacked-out back roads.
Black Ice is showing at the Light House Cinema, Market Square, Smithfield at 8.50 pm on
