Awesome

6.9/10 ☘️

Front row seat at how time changes a man, and his ambitions!

Rating: 6.8/10

Kill the Irishman is a solid, gritty, and well-cast gangster biopic that's elevated by a fantastic lead performance and an incredible supporting cast. The film tells the fascinating true story of Danny Greene's war with the Cleveland Mafia.

Highlights
- Fantastic Cast: Ray Stevenson shines as Danny Greene, surrounded by a talented supporting cast, including Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, and Val Kilmer.
- Gritty and Authentic: The film has a grounded, gritty feel that effectively captures the working-class roots of its characters and the brutal nature of the conflict.
- Compelling Story: The true story is fascinating, violent, and almost too wild to be believed.

Criticisms
- Flat Direction: The direction is competent but often feels flat and uninspired, giving the film a TV movie feel.
- Rushed Pacing: The film tries to cram decades of a complex true story into a short runtime, making the pacing feel rushed and uneven.
- Underdeveloped Characters: Some supporting characters feel underdeveloped despite the talented actors playing them.

Verdict
Kill the Irishman is a solid and entertaining gangster film that's a must-see for its incredible cast alone. It's a fascinating true story that's well-told, if not spectacularly directed. Fans of the mob genre and character actors will enjoy it.

Highly underrated movie.

I don’t think this one gets enough love. It may not be a Scorsese film, but it is a solid gangster movie.

One of my all-time favorite gangster films.
