I was cleaning my computer, somehow I found this comment that I wrote for this movie, I don't think that it was published, So here it is.

There are two things that I remembered the most.

1. One of the dialogs between the two characters.

"Are you gay? Yes, I am. It's the fashion thing, isn't it? It is everything. I am not, by the way. I figured. It is the hair thing, isn't it? It is... everything." That could be one of the things that people can talk about.

2. When they were about to see the inspector for their drug problems, the gay guy was very nervous. You can see it through his eyes. The instant he saw the inspector who had sex with him, his eyes changed immediately which he didn't even have to say anything to show that. Therefore, he has proved that he is a good actor for being able to express subtle things just through his eyes.

There is one particular scene that did not make any sense to me. When Shane discovered the hidden drug, the next day when he was at the office, one of his workers said to him: "don't worry son, it might never happen." And he smiled back.

Another thing that seems to be a little unreasonable is that the drug dealer Keith is gay. He didn't act or look like gay, and he didn't seem to be interested in Shane sexually.

Even though Ireland is another English speaking country, however, this movie still seems a little distant from where I am. It is about young people's life, I don't feel that most people can relate in the USA. Overall, it is a good film.
