Review of Kill the Irishman (2011) by Allan N — 27 Nov 2012
Kill the Irishman this is the type of film you sit down expecting not much but end up with a great experience. Pitty it was released straight to DVD. Comparing it to films like the "French Connection" and the "Dirty Harry" series that were actually made in the seventies this film appears to have captured the look and feel of the era perfectly and I think it would make a great cinema experience.
Ray Stevenson in a tour de force performance as Danny Greene is paired with a great cast, Val Kilmer (although he looks more like "ice box" than "ice man" but does his job), Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, Vinnie Jones amongst others.
The violence is realistic and not cartoony, and although it may not be the most complex mob-film out there, it is a truly great tale that is based in nearly 20 years of reality. A great story where you'll end up actually caring about the people involved!
