Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
I can no longer stomach the premise in so many Anglo-American crime pictures that mavericks are admirable simply because they're mavericks
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
1 May 2012
fresh:
A movie that says more about the rebellious Irish psyche than a heap of overtly political pictures.
– Derek Elley,
Variety,
26 Mar 2009
fresh:
All the performances are impressive, but Gleeson and Voight are especially memorable, lending an almost tragic air of inexorability to Cahill and Kenny's cat-and-mouse games.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
The General is a refined, traditional movie about a character who is never more traditional than when he imagines himself outside the law. It's a great paradox, but it barely comes alive on the screen.
– Amy Taubin,
Village Voice,

fresh:
Gleeson is one of those rare actors who has an instinctive rapport with the audience from the moment he appears on-screen.
