The Halo Effect (2004) promo

Описание: A decent man in a difficult world, Fatso, struggles to keep his late-night business afloat as he battles a chronic gambling addiction.
Fatso is the kind-hearted owner of a rather bad take-away place in Dublin. His employees are a bunch of incompetent people, whom he keeps on mostly to help them survive. Also, he has a serious gambling problem resulting in mounting debts, and loan sharks are starting to make his life miserable. With the net closing around him, it is only a matter of time before Fatso will be forced to risk everything in the biggest game of his life.
“As you might expect, Rea is the stand out performer.” - entertainment.ie
“Stephen Rea is, as ever, convincing and authentic. Somehow too he manages to be charming in the world where human kindness seems like and ill-affordable luxury. If ’The Halo Effect’ leaves you with any message, it's that life is one big gamble... It's all about the cards that you're dealt.” – RTE Ireland's National Public Service Media
“The director peoples the film with a colourful band of grotesques and dreamers played by such fine actors as John Kavanagh, Mick Lally, Neilí Conroy and Gerard McSorley.” – The Irish Times
