Plot: 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.
