I know there are already threads posted for the movie, but im lazy.
The film based on Irish mobster Danny Greene's conflicts with the Licavoli era Cleveland LCN is released next week.
http://morningjournal.com/articles/2011/03/06/entertainment/mj4146726.txt

Violence raged on with some 40-odd carbombings & a string of murder/dissappearences, & included well known names like Lips Moceri, Ronnie the Crab Carrabia, Tony Dope Delsanter & Peanuts Tronolone.

There is a great ensemble cast put together for the film.
Ray Stevenson plays Danny Greene himself, with Vincent D'Onofrio as John Nardi, the Italian-American mobster that supposedly "couldn't wait" to get made & so allied with Greene against the family. Ex footballer & tough nut Vinnie Jones plays Greene's chief enforcer, an ex Hells Angel.

Christopher Walken plays Shondor Birns, the notorious Jewish loanshark who had a long career an associate of Cleveland mob figures, a real interesting guy. Val Kilmer plays a cop based on Cleveland Police Detective Ed Kovacic, & characters im looking forward to seeing portrayed, Tony Lo Bianco as James "Blackie" Licavoli & Paul Sorvino as Fat Tony Salerno, Cleveland Boss & Genovese Front Boss respectively.

(Some of the) Other mobsters being portrayed are Leo "Lips" Moceri (Mike Star), Frank Brancato (Vinny Vella Sr) Tommy Sinito (Grant Krause) & Ray Ferrito (Robert Davi)

Steve "Baccala" Schirripa, Fionula Flanagan, Anthony "Tony Darrow/Larry Boy Barese" Borghese. I would have seen it anyway, but theres alot of actors i like in this.

For those that have not seen the trailer...

I am disappointed that this film is not being released more on a national level. I plan to see it soon and am hoping that it does well. Looks like a very interesting film and a sad chapter in the history of my city.

Among others, this film has Paul Sorvino, Val Kilmer, and the actor who played Bobby Baccalieri from "Sopranos."

The catering budget must have been as high as the film's whistle.

From what I recall from last Sunday's "Cleveland Plain Dealer," it was to be in C-land, NY, and LA initially.

what i am sure about is that we will see this movie here in 2012, it was the same shit with Chicago Overcoat. It was released in the US in 2009, and we got to see/buy it in 2010.

Saw "Kill the Irishman" last night. I thought it was pretty good and nearly everyone who likes the mob genre will enjoy it. It was a good story, but some of the artistic license was (at times) unnecessary.

The TV actor who played John Nardi and Christopher Walken as Shondra Burns were excellent. Never had seen the actor who played Danny Greene. Plus there was a minor role by Paul Sorvino and the actor who was the warden in "Shawshank Redemption." Surprise, surprise but the warden actor was also a prick in "Kill the Irishman."

Not as great as "Goodfellas," but on par with "Donnie Brasco."

On par with Donnie Brasco? If thats the case, its huge. Maybe its better to compare it with other movies?

I like Donnie Brasco. Irishman is very good, just not awesome like Godfather or Goodfellas. I rank Brasco, Irishman, Heat, Casino just a notch below.

Well worth your time for Kill the Irishman.

My friend in NYC said it is the best mob movie since Goodfellas, so it must be even better than Brasco. Can't wait until it plays in Northern Cal.

It isn't available yet as far as I can check. We Europeans have to wait at least a couple of months before we can see it. Maybe if the film does well if will come out in cinema here also.

When the film is available on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S., we Europeans don't necessarily have to wait till it comes out here. smile

Apparantly, the film will be released on video here in The Netherlands on April 26. So that's within a week.

I'm pretty suprised about it and not totally convinced. We'll see what happens...

it musta been released somewhere just watched an excelent version of it on loombo. good movie but i def see where people was saying its like donnie brasco. focuses much more on dramatics and reconstructes and dramatizes real life events. if anyone wants the link to this pm me. the version i watched kept refering to the title as "the bulletproof gangster" was this a first run title or something? anyone know?

I saw it yesterday, its a good movie. But nowhere near Donnie Brasco, they could have done a better job. And a question about Nardi, wassnt he just a low ranking figure? Instead of the second/third man after Scalish?

i thought this too and where was angelo lonardo? it didnt seem like he was in there much or maybe i didn't catch him or he was too jumbled in the character line to notice.

Like the title says, its all about the Irishman, make him more then he ever was. And put the Italians in a corner, like little girls. What do you think of the conversation Salerno had with Licavoli?

i liked paul sorvino. he alwzays does a good job. but the convo itself was underplayed. i know in real life it prob did not go that way lol. you did bring up a good point. it's all about the irishman lol. i liked the background of this story perhaps because i'm irish and lived in cleveland for a little bit. i just really think they could have done a much better job. my first thought was wow they didn't go into any detail explaining this shit like goodfellas and casino. i feel bad for someone who tries to watch this movie that knows nothing of the true story...they will totally lost.

I agree, hes a legend as far as i am concerned. But the conversation was shit, the movie itself is cool. A top movie, but only after the likes of Donnie Brasco, certainly better then Chicago Overcoat, Mobsters, etc and all those B movies.
I am getting more and more interested in Irish mob movies, seen a lot of them.
