Six Shooter
A black and bloody Irish comedy.
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Produced by Film4 Productions, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland
A darkly comic, grief-stricken train journey that erupts into violence, balancing black humor against profound loss and the unpredictability of human suffering.
Overwhelmed by grief following the death of his wife, Donnelly shares a train carriage home with a troubled young man identified only as the 'Kid'. As the Kid becomes more agitated and foul-mouthed, the journey takes on a violent and dangerous hue – for the bereaved Donnelly and for other hapless passengers on the train.
