The General (1998)
Country: EI/GB
Technical: bw 124m
Director: John Boorman
Cast: Brendan Gleeson, Adrian Dunbar, Jon Voight
Synopsis:
The career of Dublin hoodlum Martin Cahill, his run-ins with the police and his ultimate removal by the IRA.
Review:
Entertaining and infuriating portrait of a man with few morals but a forceful personality, superbly acted by Gleeson. Voight's dogged policeman helps Boorman sit on the fence, but the movie seems to come down heavily in favour of the crooks' free-spirited entrepreneurialism.
