General, The (U)

Action, Adventure, Comedy

When Union spies steal an engineer's beloved locomotive, he pursues it single handedly and straight through enemy lines.


The critical consensus

A perfect opportunity to witness Keaton's glorious action-comedy on the big screen.

*****Simon Braud, Empire Online

If you’ve never seen it, then don’t miss this opportunity. If you have, then it’s every bit as good as you remember.

*****Philip Concannon, Little White Lies, 23/01/2014

A jaw-plunging blend of physical dexterity and bravura moviemaking.

*****James Mottram, Total Film, 20/01/2014

Re-released in a pristine new digitally restored version, Buster Keaton's 1926 masterpiece looks better than ever.
