The Guard.
A fantastic Irish black comedy. About corruption, apathy, and a hundred little reflections on life, it's the film Hot Fuzz should have been. The Oirishmen here should try it, I thought it was spectacular. First scene:
Gang of yobs drink-driving, music pounding. They speed past a waiting police car. The police officer silently watches them pass, allowing them to kill themselves in a crash ten seconds later. The police car pulls up; the officer gets out, pockets some LSD from one of the bodies, swallows a square, and gazes across the grey, clouded coast.
[Thick Irish] "What a fuckin' beautiful morning."
