Kill the Irishman was good. Not near the same level as Goodfellas or Donnie Brasco. But it was still entertaining. It really made all the gangsters look like idiots, especially the Italians, in my opinion. I didn't appreciate that part, it seemed pretty one-sided. But I realize it wasn't a biography or documentary.

If you like more Irish Mob movies, you can also check out one called Madso's War. It's alright.

It was cool to see some other Mafia families have a bit of a story told about them too, and their connections with the Genovese Family in NY under Salerno. As a side point, the Cleveland family under Scalish was the same crew referred to in the Godfather 2 by Hymen Roth as the Lakeview Road Boys (really the Mayfield Road Mob). This Cleveland family, with the help of their Teamsters connections, was the one the controlled the Stardust Casino, and these guys, along with a few other families (Detroit, Milwaukie, St. Louis, Chicago Outfit) are portrayed in Scorsese's Casino. Interesting connections, I thought.
