Variety - ...Well-rounded characters and performances down the line....Screen newcomer McGuckin makes a sturdy showing..., New York Times - ...Mr. Harris's commanding performance, full of wounded arrogance, is the best reason for seeing TROJAN EDDIE..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Eddie's a terrific character...[and] Rea commands the screen..., Los Angeles Times - ...Rea, with his air of profound resignation, is an enigmatic and captivating figure...

Eddie, a low-level flunky in a "family" of Irish swindlers, gets a case of torn loyalties after one of the junior members absconds with the willing, too-young bride of the family's boss--and with the dowry money, as well. While trying to clean up the mess, Eddie also contends with his own sloppy lovelife and bleak future. A low-key, melodramatic riff on the well-worn crime syndicate betrayal theme.
