Reviews

[Keaton's films] have such a graceful perfection, such a meshing of story, character and episode, that they unfold like music.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The film boasts the most sustained passages of virtuoso slapstick genius Keaton ever shot...

Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

A hilarious comedy and a thrilling action film. The General has it all.
