The CinePearl Take
The General is a 1990s English film that blends crime, biographical and heist — expect cops, criminals and shifting loyalties and a real life brought to the screen. John Boorman directs and the script comes from John Boorman. Jon Voight and Jim Sheridan are among the leads. Made in United Kingdom, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1998, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 124 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
