The first Jack Taylor movie not directed by Stuart Orme but the upturn in quality from the previous episode is maintained. It is rather peculiar of me to admit this but I did wonder how they were going to deal with a fingerless Jack!
Kate has returned to the Garda after her operation and she and Jack still seem to be an on/off couple.
Jack and Darragh are hired by a major software company to find out about valuable games data being stolen. The main suspect is a young lady called Skyler who is later found dead and Jack suspects the head of the company whose flirty wife is making a play for Jack.
James Mason the English private investigator from the previous story is putting pressure on Jack to help get the charges against him dropped.
It was nice to see some story strands from the previous story Headstone being carried over and I rather like the teaming up of Jack with the increasingly desperate James. They really seemed to be two sides of the same coin. The always enthusiastic Darragh seems ends up in a bit of bother again, this time his meddling leaves him dangling.
I am still bemused to see Kate and Jack as a couple though. It is a shame it has taken the makers so long to figure out how to make these films finally work.
