Kill the Irishman review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 06/29/12
A true to life inspired film about Irish-American mob boss and FBI informant Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson). Joe Manditski (Val Kilmer) tries to apprehend Danny for every mistake he makes. John Nardi (Vincent D'Onofrio[) is a friend who becomes a business partner of Greene. The soundtrack was amazing and style of direction though is similar to previous mob related films such as American Gangster or Goodfellas, was effective in brining in live footage's of actual events that occurred in Cleveland. Acting was solid though it could have been nice to see more of Sorvino and Walker in their roles. This reviewer was surprised that his story was even linked to the 5 mafia families indictment in New York. Screenplay was descent to bring out the characters personalities. A picture about friendship, loss of time for family, inner goodness, loyalty, and control of power. Entertaining from start to finish despite some minor flaws, Kill The Irishman is an interesting look at an Irish criminal who tried to change for the good while being guided by the "Grace of God" thru an heirloom
