During the summer of 1976, 36 bombs detonated in the heart of Cleveland while a turf war raged between Irish mobster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson of THOR, TV's ROME) and the Italian mafia.  Based on a true story, Kill the Irishman chronicles Greene's heroic rise from a scrappy union official in a tough Cleveland neighborhood to a local mob enforcer who took on some of the biggest crime syndicates. Co-starring Academy-Award®-winner Christopher Walken (DEER HUNTER), Val Kilmer (TOP GUN), and Vincent D'Onofrio (FULL METAL JACKET).

Graderings en resensies

Despite being a clone of so many 1970's Mafia movies this was not over the top with Mafia cliches, rare, and better yet it involves the typical cliche racist attitudes of day true to how I remember them. This makes this movie of a "true story" feel very truel A tale of very bad people. For that alone I give it four instead of only the three stars it deserves.

If you think you're bad check this out. Based on TRUE story and they didn't stray too far from absolute truth.

True story based in Cleveland Ohio. The Italians sub contract to an irish guy. Irish guy gets pushed too much, and ends the contract with the Italians. You can figure out what happens next.
