I love the minicab dispatcher too! His scenes with Sean Bean are the best in the movie. I think I bought it in part because of him.
You're right about Neil Byrne. He's so broken; he's kind of like an avenging ghost. (It's like a mix of "The Fugitive" and "The Crow.") What is he going to do once he figures out who killed them? His life is so empty aside from that one thing that drives him. It's so sad. (Though I suppose he's got a great future hanging out with the awesome minicab dispatcher...!)
But, yeah, it's really eminently watchable. All these long lingering shots of Sean Bean, in all different outfits and various states of undress and injury, and always so angsty and hot. *sigh* Three hours and twenty minutes of Sean Bean at his best.
