Kill The Irishman

Indie, True Story
4 stars
Well told true story about a 1970’s era man, Danny Greene, who worked his way up through unions and later the mob in Cleveland. Ray Stevenson stars as Greene, a sort of Robin Hood to the folks of Cleveland who was fiercely proud of his Irish heritage. Biggest question is why isn’t Stevenson a bigger star with his brawny physique and his deep baritone of a voice, let alone his talent? Co-stars include Val Kilmer as a cop, Vincent D’Onfrio as a “nice” mobster and Christopher Walken as a powerful man with mob ties. Gritty and realistic, it really brings what I remember of the 70’s back to life. Good movie.
