Kill the Irishman (1:46) 2011

Based on the life of Danny Greene, Kill the Irishman tells the story of the war between the Irish mob and the Italian mafia in the 1970s. Set in Cleveland, Danny grows up in a rough Italian neighborhood after the death of his mother following his birth. He works on the docks and using his native intelligence and Irish charm becomes the union leader. Following his arrest and conviction, Danny faces a lifetime ban from the union and turns to organized crime. This eventually leads him to battle the mafia. In 1976, thirty six bombs were used to assassinate members of both crime families. This ultimately led to the downfall of the Italian crime families in Cleveland. This is a good movie for the its type. There are shooting, stabbings, car and house bombings but it is a retelling of actual events. Ray Stevenson is wonderful as the charismatic, intelligent Danny, a man who strives to be a Celtic warrior but ends up as a thug.
