« Michael just loves taking the law into his own hands! »
Kevin Spacey stars in this Irish crime film as Michael Lynch, the leader and mastermind of a gang of Dublin thieves whose heists often double as unbelievable pranks. Though his inimitable style and generosity with have won him many admirers among the general population, his increasingly brazen robberies have provoked the ire of both the police and the IRA.
Vehemently anti-establishment, Lynch refuses to placate either group, a move that complicates things when a stolen Carvaggio proves to be far too hot for him to sell. This misstep gives detective Noel
Quigley, who has been after Lynch for years, the chance to catch Ireland's most famous criminal and forces Lynch to go on the run.
