Errores:

Errores Reales: During conversation, the police detective reminds the priest about the murder "three years ago" and the priest concurs, saying it was three years ago to the day. Both dates in the film are supposed to be Ash Wednesday however, which falls on a different date each year -namely 46 days before Easter - and can occur anywhere from the first week of February until mid March. In 1983 (being the date that the murders took place in the film) Ash Wednesday fell on February 16th and in 1986, it was celebrated on the 12th of February.

Citas:

Francis: They thought you were the smart one? I must've looked like a friggin' retard!

Lent me your ears!

`Ash Wednesday' is the latest installment by Actor/Writer/Director Edward Burns. The film was released in just a few theaters back in October of 2002. Because of its limited release, it did not have a `prayer' in making a profit. `Ash Wednesday' possesses the usual first-degree `Burnisms': Irish rituals, catholic guilt, sibling codependence, love triangle, and lots of Heineken chugging. Because of its serious dramatic tone, it did lack the witty banter of most of Burns' other films. Burns and Elijah Wood play Irish catholic brothers- Francis & Sean Sullivan. Francis must protect his younger brother Sean from an Irish mob who are suspicious that he is still alive even though he was presumed dead 3 years ago. The film is set in one entire Ash Wednesday in New York's Hells Kitchen during the early 80's. I do commend Burns by writing & directing out of the box and providing us a more dramatically intense film. However, Eddie please make sure you return and make more jocose romantic comedies because that is where your fire really burns! ****Excellent
