Over the summer of 1976, 36 bombs detonate in the heart of Cleveland while a turf war raged between Irish mobster Danny Greene and the Italian mafia. "Kill the Irishman" chronicles Greene's heroic rise from a tough Cleveland neighborhood to become an enforcer in the local mob. Turning the tables on loan shark Shondor Birns and allying himself with gangster John Nardi, Greene stops taking orders from the mafia and pursues his own power. Surviving countless assassination attempts from the mob and killing off anyone who went after him in retaliation, Danny Greene's infamous invincibility and notorious fearlessness eventually led to the collapse of mafia syndicates across the U.S. and also earned him the status of the man the mob couldn't kill.

    Certainly the filmmakers rounded up the right cast of tough-guy actors for this story of mob activity, but their presence doesn't lend much vigor to this unfocused and sentimental tale

    this movie is based on a true story of Irish mobster Danny greene. i dont know how most of the real story went down but the movie had quite a good story, it had a great cast except for vinnie jones attempt at an irish accent he did not pull it off well, the rest of the cast was great. the story takes place over a number of years, you do feel for Danny Greene throughout the movie. i like my mafia movies and the true story ones are great like Donnie Brasco, this movie is up their with that, so if you liked that i say you will like this one as well.
