This is Michael Lynch (KEVIN SPACEY): family man, liar, criminal mastermind and our hero. ORDINARY DECENT CRIMINAL is a classic gangster movie set in modern day Dublin. It follows the extraordinary adventures of an ordinary decent criminal - a man who robs from the rich but lives with the poor. He loves his two wives, sisters Christine (LINDA FIORENTINO) and Lisa (HELEN BAXENDALE), his children, his gang and, above all, his unique way of life. Michael is a suave, sardonic and sexy man: a charismatic criminal who strides the Dublin streets like a colossus. He dreams up robberies with hallmark panache which rarely fail to endear him to the public. He challenges authority at every turn, culminating in the ultimate art theft from Dublin's most prestigious gallery, outwitting and dumbfounding the police, Interpol and the rest of the criminal fraternity. Michael is driven by two fundamental beliefs: be loyal to your own and to hell with everyone else. He succeeds so well that what starts as a laugh evolves into something far more dangerous. He begins to enjoy the sting more than the cash, and the notoriety most of all. As his ego drives him on, the police, in particular Noel Quigley (STEPHEN DILLANE), determine to break him. As the law closes in, increasing pressure on the whole gang, Michael makes a mistake that could destroy him, threatening both his popularity with the public and his reliability as a bread winner. But he recovers his equilibrium in time to dream up one last, dazzling score - and evade the trap that has been set for him? -- © 2000 Little Bird [More]
