A brilliant, flamboyant master criminal Michael Lynch is more interested in his image and his posterity than the actual profit from his ill-gotten gains.
Covering the same (true) story as John Boorman's brilliant The General this version sucessfully manages to emphasize the humourous aspects and entertains quite well.
Halliwell (no star): "Partly based on the true-life exploits of Martin Cahill, this is a run-of-the-mill thriller with some unconvincing cast."
Maltin*1/2: "The main character is so arrogant and and unlikable that it isn't fun to watch him taunt authority. Fiorentino and Spacey fumble with their brogues in this otherwise forgettable film."
