Johnny Doyle (Vinnie Jones) tries to escape a violent past in Ireland to lie low in London, until his former comrade Flynn (Patrick Bergin) escapes from Brixton Prison, hell bent on derailing the Irish peace process. Unable to escape Brixton, they are trapped together in Johnny's anything-but-safe safe house, sandwiched between a pirate radio station belonging to a Rasta DJ (Lennox Lewis) and a West Indian 'Yardie' crackdealing gangster, Julius (Eriq La Salle), downstairs. As the charismatic Flynn finds common ground with the Yardies, Johnny fights to realise a peace process of his own, but makes the mistake of falling for Julius's girlfriend (Samantha Mumba), causing allout war.

Bishop Patrick's knowledge of the Irish culture and abiding love for the people quickly wins converts, but it is his unshakable faith and display of supernatural abilities, similar to those performed by Moses, that confirm his ministry on the Emerald Isle.

The story of Patrick is wonderful, but the film would have been better if it was based entirely on Patrick's two letters rather than later legends. Patrick didn't drive the snakes out of Ireland--there were never any there. What Patrick went through and accomplished are amazing. He doesn't need a movie with him turning into a deer or defeating the druids (whom he never even mentions). Watch this movie for some harmless fun, but read Patrick's letters and be really amazed.
