Having lived my entire life in Dublin, I may appear to be bias. However, I don't believe I am, but I do believe I 'get' this movie a lot more than a person from another land might. The dialogue, which is the movies strongest point, is not only hilarious, it's totally real.
This film is like a trip to a rough Dublin pub. Complete with idiotic 'North-siders' and Irish slang. Pulp Fiction is said to have some of the best dialogue ever, but even it's biggest fan can't deny that the dialogue has a very staged feel. 'I Went Down' however, really does sound like two regular Dublin lads having a 90 minute argument.
By the way, the title refers to the two characters driving down to Cork, not what you may think.
