Synopsis:
A pair of undercover cops (Nick Moran and Dublin.
An enigmatic, leather-clad figure weaves its way through
traffic on a powerful motorbike. 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?
