Movie Description
Brendan Gleeson stars as Martin Cahill, the leading Irish criminal of the 1980s. A protean figure, Cahill was a man of extraordinary intelligence, obsessive secretiveness, and vicious brutality who was never stopped by the Irish police despite having pocketed more than $60 million of other people's money. He was also capable of generosity to those in need and exuded a contagious joie de vivre that made him a hero to Ireland's poor and working-class population.


Born into poverty in the slums of Hollyfield, Cahill ends up in reform school after robbing a local merchant. Given his abilities, his rise in the world of crime is swift, abetted by a violent streak that has him nailing a partner to a pool table when he mistakently suspects him of talking to the cops. His creative domestic arrangements have him married to Frances (Maria Doyle Kennedy) while also begetting children with her sister, Tina (Angeline Ball). Although he enjoyed mocking every form of authority from the church and the government to the IRA, he had an unspoken bond with police inspector Ned Kenny (Jon Voight), who curses himself for allowing this latter-day Celtic chieftain to charm even a cop. A completely engrossing film anchored by the brilliant Gleeson and a terrific supporting cast, THE GENERAL was shot by director John Boorman in color and printed in crisp black and white.

Editorial Reviews
"...[A] remarkable true story....Jon Voight is uncannily good..."
Travers

"...Canny, elegant....[Filmed] in such seductively beautiful black and white that it has the visual precision of a photo essay..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (12/18/1998)

"...In THE GENERAL, director John Boorman is back in top form....Extremely accomplished direction.....Boorman adeptly mixes humor along with the crime and violence..."
Box Office - Ed Scheid (07/01/1998)

"...Boorman's script transforms almost every event depicted in the movie into a miniature theme....Boorman makes all his allusions work..."
Premiere - Christine Spines (12/01/1998)

"...Boorman's narrative style has a nice offhand feel about it..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/22/1999)

"...[Shows us] a uniquely ramshackle brand of criminal genius....Discipline and focus..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (01/22/1999)

Ultimate DVD - Simon Edwards (07/01/2006)
