Darkly Hilarious, Aug 4 2005
By G P Padillo "paolo" - Published on Amazon.com
Divorcing Jack is a hilarious, preposterous romp that ain't gonna be up most folk's alley. It's got a top drawer cast that one wishes, perhaps, were in a slightly better film, but they make the most of the material and often take it up a notch or two beyond where one expects it to go.
David Thewlis is terrific as Starkey and he bumbles through plot twists that are almost dizzying. Joining him is a terrific performance by Aussie actress, Rachel Griffiths, who at this point in her career seems capable of doing just about anything. Her gun toting stripper nun bit is priceless.
Obviously, from so many negative reactions, Divorcing Jack is not a typical feel good film, but for those who enjoy figuring out the nearly indecipherable, double crossing agents, chase scenes, strippers in nun drag, symbolism, the ongoing situation in Northern Ireland tossed with some bitter, black and often delicious humour, check out Divorcing Jack. You just might surprise yourself!

Dark, but quite good!, July 6 2003
By Maggie - Published on Amazon.com
This movie is an offbeat, dark comedy, which brings to light the corrupt political climate of Northern Ireland and the presence of the IRA. David Thewlis plays his quirky character to the hilt and beatifully balances the seriousness of the IRA ex-con, Pat Keegan (Jason Isaacs).
I loved this movie, with all of it's wit and humor. See it, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Black comedy at its best, Jun 9 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This is a comedy classic - filmed at a time when peace was just breaking out in Northern Ireland after nearly 30 years of pain, hurt and suffering. The Northern Irish have a good laugh at the stupity of the war and indeed themselves as only they can!
Listmania!
