Big Mick Is a Leprechaun!

What an enchanting story and amazing effects and beautiful photography! Veronica Hamel was superb as the evil Laura and sidekick, actor David Warner was very amusing as well! I was so impressed by the acting of Big Mick Lonegan,who plays the leprechaun. He brought this character to life and I've enjoyed watching this movie several times,just to see his performance.He would have been great in the classic fantasy movie "Legend" starring Tom Cruise,as one of the little elves.The casting director should be awarded for casting him in this unique role! I look forward to seeing more movies with Big Mick,as Im sure I will be delighted!! Highly recommend this movie! Four Stars!
