An excellent Irish thriller movie has just been added to streaming

Holding an 80% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film stars one of Ireland's most famous actors.

"As initial investigations into her disappearance begin to darken, secrets surface in unexpected ways," the plot synopsis adds.

"Before too long, Barber finds himself entangled with powerful men of shady morals determined to thwart his investigations. Has he bitten off more than he can chew?"

Barber re-teamed Gillen and co-writer/director Fintan Connolly. This was after they collaborated on the 2005 film Trouble with Sex.

Watch the trailer for Barber right here:

Barber is a very cool movie. It takes the archetypes of the noir mystery - complete with a sardonic, sympathetic detective becoming caught in a far-reaching conspiracy - but places them in a recognisable, modern-day Dublin.

Also, through Barber's backstory and investigation, the movie becomes a fascinating exploration of an ever-changing Ireland.

Gillen is brilliant in the lead role. In fact, we wish we could watch a case-of-the-week series focusing on Val Barber's exploits.
