6.5/10
Gripping story and exciting story
Kill The Irish Man is about the true story of Danny Greene, a tough Irish thug working for mobsters in Cleveland during the 1970's. (imdb)
When I started this film I was gripped instantly with the third person prespective of story tell of Danny Greene's life. The story takes us through Greene's childhood all the way to through his adult life. We follow his highs and lows, being both involved in his life and seeing it from afar.
Greene, being a thug with fraud and murder in his resume, somehow is a likable character. Well read, humorous and has heart, it's hard not to like Greene.
This film has a low budget, but this did not stop them from delivering a close knit and well performed movie.
Ray Stevenson brought Danny Greene to life. Val Kilmer's character Joe Manditski towards the end of the film disappeared and became non-exisitant dispite his narratoring role throughout. Although this detail doesn't affect the overall storyline of the film, it does stand out a bit.
If you like Godfather or Spranos...this may be your movie. Entertaining and gripping. Watch it and decide for yourself.
