This independent comedy from Ireland comes with a bit of a bite. In the classic structure of "The Full Monty" and "Made in Dagenham", this new film tells the story of the "underdog" women of the "Deadly Cuts" hair salon trying to survive poverty and a menacing gang in their small Irish town.
The women want to enter a National Hair competition that will bring fame and business to their shop and town. Dirty politicians, jealous rivals and a little bit of murder are just few of the roadblocks facing them along the way.
The four leads are well written characters, each with their own quirks and issues. The townsfolk are quite a bunch of characters in their own right, especially some of the faithful customers of the salon. It's a lighthearted romp with just a shade of dark thrown in to give it an edge.
