Worth seeing, but it’s NOT going to be a Mob Classic
I had a chance to catch this at the Sunshine Theater on East Houston in NYC. I was looking forward to seeing this movie after reading about it a few months ago, and luckily found a theater that was actually screening it. I initially heard of Danny Green from the Mobsters series on BIO Channel, so I already knew the background story, and overall this movie keeps things pretty real in that regard(with some dramatics added here and there for the sake of entertainment). Overall I was slightly disappointed as parts of the movie and the dialog was too “Hollywoody”. Casting Christopher Walken for example, he’s become such a fixture of humor because of the way he talks, so when he talks in this movie about serious subjects, its still funny. Plus the meetings and interactions(especially amongst the Italian characters) was so typical it seemed like a 18 year old wrote the script after watching a few episodes of the Sopranos. The special effects seemed very low budget on the car bombing sequences, you can totally see a green screen poorly camouflaged into the some of the shots. That being said it is a good movie, just not a classic like Goodfellas, The Godfather, or even something one tier lower like Casino or The Departed. Ray Stevenson is awesome and is able to carry the movie past some of the shortcomings I mentioned, but with the talented names in the cast and the storyline they had to work with, it could have been so much better.
Oh Danny boy
Kill the Irishman tells the story of mobster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson) and his rise to power in 1970s Cleveland. Green rose to be a local Union boss became a police informer when the heat got too much and then got into conflict with the mafia.The film is told from the viewpoint of cop, Val Kilmer who is too fat to be a cop is in conflict with Greene and actually wasted in the role.
This is really low rent version of Goodfellas with less charismatic characters, B list cast, dodgy wigs and bad cgi. The plot goes at a breakneck speed, Greene has no education, works as a docker and a few punches later deposed the crooked union boss, got married to the local bar girl who subsequently leaves him and takes their children and you never hear from her again.
Greene teams up with a local mafia hoodlum and together they take on the mafia chiefs which resulted in numerous car bombings in Cleveland which terrorised the citizens.
The film is interesting enough because it is pacey, Stevenson tries to infuse his character with charisma and make him out to be a anti hero but is ultimately defeated by the script.
