Summary of Kill the Irishman

The true story of Danny Greene, a tough Irish thug working for mobsters in Cleveland during the 1970's.
Inspired by Rick Porrello's "To Kill The Irishman: The War That Crippled The Mafia", The Irishman chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene, who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob. Greene was as an upstart longshoreman union rep and later became a cocky, legendarily difficult-to-kill troublemaker in the world of organized crime in the 1970s. Christoper Walken plays the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns and Val Kilmer is a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.

Impressive!
Even you think you've seen all the gangster movies you can take, "Kill the Irishman" comes along and shows you there's so much more to see. Yes, it's not a perfect movie and far from it, but being able to find new things to show in a genre that it...
Likely to see
