The Crooked Mile

Anyone see this movie from a few years back? Watched it last night and most of it is set in Tramore. Only problem was that they used Jersey instead. What was the point of that? It didn't look remotely like Tramore. Surely Tramore could have done with the publicity and the revenue created by filming there?

Probably cheaper or easier to film it in Jersey at the time. It is very common for different locations to stand in for others.

Yes. Wasn't the beach scenes from Saving Private Ryan filmed in Wexford?
