The General

Interesting docu-drama about an Irish thief who eventually gets whacked by the IRA. It features Brendan Gleason as the thief and Jon Voight as his law enforcement nemesis. Really liked this one, though I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to watch it in black & white or the washed out color version. I picked the latter. Again I love the British heist genre so really enjoyed the big one they pulled off in this film… and it was true to boot. John Boorman directed this film and very ably I might add.
Favorite moment: Cahill protesting the tearing down of his block by camping out in a small trailer as they knock everything down around him.
