Kill the Irishman movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Tom Long, Detroit News: Stevenson is a good actor, but Kill the Irishman is standard mob fare, neither exciting enough nor interesting enough to matter. Read more
James Rocchi, MSN Movies: Yes, we've seen all this stuff before, but we've never seen this version of this stuff before. Read more
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: An extravagantly corny ode to the collapse of the Cleveland mafia in the 1970s. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: The problem is that writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh doesn't do much beyond filling in the template; he's telling the specific, true-life tale of mob decline in 1970s Cleveland, but every character and setpiece feels like it fell off a truck. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: The cast makes up for some occasionally spotty storytelling and telegraphing of events that keep "Irishman" from being as good as it could have been. Read more
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: As a kind of St. Patrick's Day hangover, "Kill the Irishman'' gets the job done. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The structure of the storytelling in Kill the Irishman is pretty square, but the cast is tasty... Read more
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter: Flavorless writing and direction and a low-wattage cast turn potentially strong material into a routine crime thriller. Read more
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: Cliched shards of mob movies that add up to the usual "Goodfellas" knockoff. Read more
Nick Pinkerton, L.A. Weekly: Though director Jonathan Hensleigh perks up when filming violence, the atmosphere throughout is past-prime, stymieing any strut. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: It's full of familiar old faces, a wee bit of color -- and, occasionally, a literally explosive charge of drama. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: In the lead role, the snarling Ray Stevenson suffers from a charisma deficit. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Stevenson is big and swarthy and not altogether without credibility, but he's got as much charisma as a potato. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: There's an irresistible, Cleveland-esque, underdog quality about this whole production. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: What makes this film special and memorable is the character of Danny Green, who is not the usual neighborhood hoodlum you see in movies, the kind who gets in deep and gradually loses his soul. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Hensleigh romanticizes Greene and doesn't have a very nuanced understanding of labor racketeering. That said, he does possess a fine eye for shabby urban landscapes and a nice way with explosions. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: At the same time overemphatic and insecure. Read more
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: The setting lacks the gritty feel of the mean streets of New York, Jersey or even Boston mob movies. It is, after all, Cleveland. The story, which gets bogged down in detail, often feels predictable and lacks spark. Read more
