Based on author Rick Porrello's book To Kill the Irishman: The War that Crippled the Mafia, director Jonathan Hensleigh's richly detailed biopic details the rise and fall of notorious Cleveland union rep Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who earned notoriety in the mid-1970s for his bold willingness to defy the Italian mob. Raised on the mean streets of Cleveland, Greene's tough reputation eventually lands him a contact with the local mob. Before long, the scrappy local has become a mafia enforcer, but after forming an alliance with notorious gangster John Nardi (Vincent D'Onofrio) and burning feared loan shark Shondor Birns (Christopher Walken), Greene starts to discover that he has the potential to become as powerful as any of his adversaries. Later, Greene develops a reputation as untouchable after surviving numerous assassination attempts, and dealing a devastating blow to organized crime syndicates across the U.S.

You might feel like you've seen enough mobster movies to last you a lifetime, and you might be right about that. But the secret of writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh's highly enjoyable "Kill the Irishman" is that it doesn't try to out-dazzle or out-splatter the Coppola-Scorsese-David Chase tradition. This is a movie with grime from the streets of Cleveland under its nails, which tells the more or less true story of Danny Greene, an Irish-American longshoreman who rose to become a 1970s crime boss in that oft-derided Lake Erie metropolis. (Much as I love Baltimore, it's gotten enough pop-culture love recently to last a generation. With Drew Carey's sitcom long off the air, maybe Cleveland is ready for its close-up.)

I don't know what strange kismet has brought us two '70s-flavored crime flicks that feel like half-finished Quentin Tarantino projects right on top of each other – this one and "The Lincoln Lawyer" – but I'm certainly not complaining. Hensleigh and cinematographer Karl Walter Lindenlaub even shoot the film in period style, with lots of screwed-up, semi-industrial locations, an awesome soundtrack of vintage soul and rock, and muddy, subtly desaturated colors. (Maybe those are meant to suggest the notorious pollution of Cleveland, where the Cuyahoga River's surface infamously caught on fire in 1969.) But "Kill the Irishman's" most surprising asset is the out-of-nowhere performance of Ray Stevenson, a big, shaggy, brawling hunk of man-flesh who plays Danny as an elemental force of nature, sometimes crude and violent, sometimes kittenish and mild.

Kill the Irishman (2011)

Hensleigh's large and delightful cast is loaded with actors eager to prove they're still kicking, from Val Kilmer as Danny's cop nemesis to Vincent D'Onofrio as an Italian Mafia turncoat who becomes Danny's right-hand man and Christopher Walken as a snaky, sinister Jewish restaurateur. All these people, and many more colorful ethnic stereotypes besides, collide in the notorious summer of 1976, when America's long-running mob wars brought near-total chaos to Cleveland (where there were nearly 40 bombings that year). This is a gangster movie, not a history lesson, but I always approve of teaching the young 'uns important truths, such as this: The '70s were completely freakin' nuts, and you're basically lucky you weren't there. Maybe the secret weapon of "Kill the Irishman" is that grizzled veterans like Hensleigh and Stevenson know this for real.

Kill the Irishman (2011)

A film that transverses the realms of both Martin Scorsese and Sylvester Stallone, Kill the Irishman is a tale of a gangster's rise, like Goodfellas, and of a corrupt union man in at least its first segment, like F*I*S*T. Kill the Irishman is conventional in its chronological telling of the life of Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), a Cleveland crook on the fringes of gangsterism, whose story is told via narration by a close observer, cop Joe (Val Kilmer). Greene's milieu is similar to Whitey Bulger's in Boston, which forms the basis of Scorsese's The Departed (and part of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest). There are a few unusual angles and camera movements, but mostly the Scorsese element is mostly tough talking guys and car trunks.

The trajectory is typical of the crime genre. Greene starts out as a tough kid in a tough neighborhood. Works a union dock job. Meets a waitress, instant love and marriage. Takes over the union with his fists. Arrested on corruption charges, he balances a role as a snitch with that of mob hire. Involved in a self-defense murder. Wearied wife leaves. Greene experiences hubris, and a '70s gangway results. Thirty-six bombs went off in town before Greene's eventual poignant and sentimental death at the end of the decade. He was a giant, basically felled by a toothache.

What distinguishes Greene's career is that he was seemingly indestructible, with numerous attempts on his life. In laying out his story, director Jonathan Hensleigh. working from a script credited to him and Jeremy Walters from Rick Porrello's book To Kill the Irishman, also includes contemporaneous TV news footage, in which one can catch images of the real Greene. Among the newscasters is a young Brian Ross, of NBC.

Stevenson (The Punisher, Book of Eli) is an appealing actor and his character is noble despite all the evil he does, and he is embedded in a terrific cast, including Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken , Linda Cardellini, Robert Davi, Vinnie Jones, Tony Lo Bianco, Paul Sorvino, and Mike Starr. They all acquit themselves all very well, very realistically, and with conviction.

Kill the Irishman (2011)

Kill the Irishman isn't a summer movie so much as a grindhouse film, a little sloppy, a little tawdry or weathered around the edges, like its cast, and perfectly placed in an all-night movie theater of yore. It's great summer night slumming cinema, with an integral moral complexity that doesn't intrude but guides the action.
