Movie Info
Ordinary Decent Criminal is a classic gangster movie in modern-day Ireland. It follows the extraordinary adventures of a Robin Hood character, Michael Lynch, a thief, bigamist, liar, and criminal genius who robs from the rich to give to the poor. Michael is suave, sardonic, and sexy. When his leather-clad figure weaves its way through the Dublin traffic on a powerful motorbike, people stare in awe. He loves his two wives (who happen to be sisters), his wild kids, his gang, and, most of all, his

Em vez de perder tempo com este filme, assista ao ótimo O General, inspirado no mesmo personagem, e veja o contraste entre o irlandęs real (Gleeson) e o falso (Spacey).
(It) highlights not so much the crime lord's messianic bent, but Spacey's.
The best thing that can be said of the picture is that it does have a few cute moments.
I can only imagine one thing worse than Kevin Spacey trying on an Irish accent, and that's sultry Linda Fiorentino doing the same thing.
Technically and artistically inept.
Audience Reviews for Ordinary Decent Criminal
Super Reviewer
The only known Irish person in this film that I recognised was Colin Farrell, who played a relatively small part.
Interesting story, not very interestly told.
VERDICT: Worth a watch, but wait until it's on tv
