"The General" is a critically acclaimed, misdirected mistelling of the misadventures of an Irish gangster of some repute for his eccentric ways. The film is a drama with very strong comedic overtones such that it is doesn't work well as either drama or comedy. In short, "The General" is only mildly interesting, mildly entertaining, and mildly amusing. I was suckered into watching the film by good reviews and high marks from IMDB.com users. A cute flick for those with an interest in recent Irish history in general or Martin Cahill in particular.
