Set against the backdrop of a 'new' Ireland, Flick's domain is that of the night-time clubs and streets of Dublin. Jack Flinter is a cocky middleclass twenty-something who's drifting through life, stopping off along the way to deal drugs in the clubs, pubs and cafes of the city. His friend and partner Des is strung out on harder stuff and his unpredictable behaviour is causing problems for Jack. When they both set their sights on the last big deal they come up against some heavy weight competition.

Flick takes place over a few days and nights when all of Jack's problems converge. He meets Isabelle, a German woman visiting the city, and after a passionate night they separate but his night-long absence is the final straw for his girlfriend. His problems with Des and the rival dealers intensify and soon Jack has to start making some big decisions.

Written and directed by Fintan Connolly, Flick is effortlessly stylish and slick. David Murray (Jack) in his first major role, has great screen presence - his swaggering saunters through the Dublin streets form the spine of the film. Flick is a mature work with real street cred.
