Negative Positive
Title: Much better than average biography
Review: The Bottom Line:Though it's one of the few black and white films that I actually feel would be stronger in color (some versions are, I'm told), The General is otherwise a completely successful look at an unvarnished criminal with an excellent performance in the lead by the underappreciated Brendan Gleeson; if you're sick of biopics which glamorize and compress, by all means check this film out.3.5/4
