The General

Det här är tveklöst den bästa stumfilmen jag har sett i hela mitt liv. Det här är spännande, rolig och mästerlig underhållning av absolut världsklass.

...watching this new one, you relish the larky details of Cahill's larcenous crusades...

Gleeson is superb as Cahill, allowing his incredible spirit and criminal guile while ceding the essential brazen naivety that was his unmaking.

This is the real thing you're watching - in every sense.

He seems like a modern visitor to the world of the silent clowns.
