Kill the Irishman is a competently made gangster film that covers absolutely no new ground. Ray Stevenson plays the targeted Irishman, Danny Greene, who rises from a job as a laborer to successful racketeer in 1970s Cleveland. On the way up, he angered much of the local gangster hierarchy, particularly the Sicilian mobsters who had run the town's crime world for many years.
Stevenson is OK in a dull lead role. There's a world of well known actors in key roles, including Christopher Walken (wasted in too small a part), Vincent D'Onofrio, Val Kilmer and Robert Davi.
The movie proceeds about like you would expect. There's enough action to keep you watching but the whole thing seems perfunctory.
