DJ Jason takes us to the world of decks, drugs and people's lives inside the streets of Dublin. Jason offers an idea of his life and the life of his brother Daniel, an educated heroin who lives on the streets of Dublin. Inside the streets of Dublin, there is another life between brothers and sisters and love situations that are not repeated in different rhythms and variety takes us to a dramatic world.
The endeavour is undeniable. The Trainspotting/Human Traffic moxie, admirable. You do wonder, though, if Dublin Oldschool bit off more than it could chew.
Dublin Oldschool is consistently uproarious in its portrait of young Dubliners always looking for bants and raves, and the party-loving lads are what can only be described as a gas collection of characters.
Tynan's film is laden down with aimless chatter, and its plot meanders drearily towards a country rave that seems curiously old-fashioned, and feels like a piece of Dublin's past, not its present.
Exhilarating though it may be, and elevated by Kirwan's poetry, the sheer speed of delivery coupled with strong accents and slang can make this Irish Trainspotting a - literally - semi-coherent trip, particularly during exchanges between the two leads.
