Mr. Boorman, working in top form with a keenly acerbic overview, has written the film so sharply that the facts speak well for themselves.

Jack Mathews 18 Jun 2017

Boorman signals that he may not like what the real Cahill did, but as a storyteller with a proven affection for larger-than-life subjects, he can't resist him, either.

Ken Fox 11 Aug 2015

Boorman's original script is razor sharp and very funny, and Gleeson's portrayal is nothing short of brilliant

Jonathan Rosenbaum 14 Mar 2003

It's extremely competent, shot in 'Scope (Boorman's best screen format), and though it kept me absorbed it failed to win me over.

Rod Dreher 24 Feb 2003

The General, for all its panache, is ultimately an unsatisfying movie. The reason, I think, is that Boorman’s slightly puerile romanticization of Cahill keeps getting in the way of the reality he’s showing us.
