    Not a bad film. Funny and with a good story line.

    Sort of trails off at the end though. Kevin Spacey is excellent in it.

    What are you talking about? The film is glorifying a thug! You know, MARTIN CAHILL! They changed the names, but that's who the film's based on. They make him out to be a decent bloke, AND HE WASN'T!

    Didn't it get Ye Olde Kicking's in the reviews? And let's face it, anything thats 'Exclusively Available to Rent at Xtravision' is invariably $hite.

    Guess I'll have to go see Scream 3 and Galaxy Quest for me culture this weekend smile.gif

    "The General" was a far better treatment of the subject imho.

    although, making any kind of film about a gangster such as Cahill could be seen as glorifying him.

    This was the worst film I have seen in a long time!

    The story was ****e, the acting was ****e and the accents
    were ****e.

    Avoid any film which has a connection to Thaddeus
    O'Sullivan. He has an uncanny ability to make ****e
    out of anything.

    Ah c'mon. There's loads of films that glorify criminals. Take most westerns for example. It's just this particular criminal lived in Dublin.

    It was not a good film. What was up with Spacey's accent?

    The General was a much better film if it's a Martin Cahill flick you want.


    All the best,

    "Top of the moring to ya"............

    What the f*** was this about, the American version of "The General" with the happy "off on his bike into the sunset" ending.

    Rubbish........

    GO ON Xtravision, the best tripe first:/
