Crime doesn't pay... but it can be a lot of fun
Dublin. An enigmatic, leather-clad figure weaves its way through traffic on a powerful motorbike. This is Michael Lynch (Kevin Spacey): family man, liar, criminal mastermind and our hero.
Ordinary decent criminals is a classic gangster movie set in modern day Dublin. It follows the extraordinary adventures of an ordinary decent criminal - a man who robs from the rich but lives with the poor. He loves his two wives, sisters Christine (Linda Fiorentino) and Lisa (Helen Baxendale), his children, his gang and, above all, his unique way of life.

I saw The General, only this version is in colour and from Hollywood. It's faster, it's flashier and it lacks the soul of The General, supplanting heartfelt truths with criminal chic.
If you've seen The General, you'll be disappointed. If you haven't, you'll think it's an entertaining crim flick.
That's all I have to say.
