The General

The General; A review doesn't do justice to this film. I could use a million adjectives and still fall short of what this film does for the viewer. It is continuously funny, so funny that one misses the spectacular stunts and action that is staged within the humour. Keaton is the center of it all, a man trying to win back his two loves, his girl and his General, the train that supplies the quick pace and most fantastic sights in film history. Upon multiple viewings the movie doesn't lose a thing. It's only an opportunity to turn your glance away from Keaton and enjoy some of the smaller performances that add to this comedy masterpiece. Action and comedy have never been so well mixed; A+
