Ordinary Decent Criminal This is the film I've been waiting for to be released. Unfortunately, as of today, the rumor has it that ODC will go straight to video in the US. Bummer! Thaddeus O'Sullivan directs this black comedy about a charismatic criminal (Kevin Spacey) in Ireland who pushes his luck too far. Linda Fiorentino, Peter Mullan and Helen Baxendale also star.
	Michael Lynch Michael Lynch, the king of the criminal underworld has four passions in life: motorcycles, crime, his wife and her sister.
	Determined that Lynch must be stopped and believing only he can do it, Detective Sergeant Noel Quigley is a cop on a mission. But when Quigley finally corners his target in the act of committing a major crime, Michael Lynch just keeps on smiling.

He dreams up audacious robberies and carries them out with a panache that endears him to the common man challenging authority at every turn.

His audacity culminates in the ultimate art theft from Dublin's most prestigious art gallery, where he outwits the Gardai, Interpol and the IRA.
