Kill the Irishman is a 2011 biographical crime thriller film directed by Jonathan Hensleigh[5] and starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer. The film is based on the story of Irish American mobster Danny Greene, and is adapted from the book To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia (1998)[6] by Rick Porrello.[7][8]

Kill the Irishman was in development hell for over a decade, before finally being green-light in 2009.[2] The movie chronicles the rise and fall of Irish, American gangster Danny Greene. Greene was a union president, until being convicted of embezzling $11,500 of the union's funds.[9][10] After this, Greene rose his way through the criminal underworld, and eventually waged war on the mafia for control of organized-crime in Cleveland.[11]

Plot

In 1960, Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson) is a union worker at the Cleveland docks. Due to the high temperatures, one of Danny’s friends faints. Their boss Jerry (Bob Gunton) forces them to continue on working or risk being fired – despite the union rules.

After leaving a bar, Danny is approached by Art (Jason Butler Harner) for help. Danny discovers that Art has a gambling problem, and he owes a substantial amount of money to local gangster John Nardi (Vincent D’Onofrio). Greene visits John Nardi and offers him a business proposition to deal with Art’s debt. Greene then gives Nardi a tip-off about a shipment container that contains a large quantity of valuable goods.

The next day at work Jerry warns Danny not to run against him in the unions upcoming election, and demands half of what Danny has been earning from his deal with John Nardi. Danny is told to be at the machine shop at midnight with the money, otherwise the police will be visiting his home. At the machine shop Jerry’s right-hand man attempts to shoot Danny, but Danny convinces him to have a fistfight. Danny wins the fight in a matter of seconds and leaves with his money. Danny eventually runs against Jerry for the union presidency. After he wins the presidency, Greene starts to improve the working conditions in the docks and marries his girlfriend (Linda Cardellini).

After doing business with John Nardi and other Mafioso figures, Danny is accused by the local press of being corrupt. Danny is then arrested by Joe Manditski (Val Kilmer) on charges of grand larceny and labor racketeering. After paying off his lawyers, Danny is left broke and facing ten years in prison. The feds offer Danny to become an informant, and in exchange the charges would be dropped. Danny reluctantly agrees to the deal and he gives monthly tip-offs to the feds.

Because of Danny’s financial problems, Nardi gets him a job with loan shark Alex "Shondor" Birns (Christopher Walken). Danny works as Shondor’s muscle and collects the money that is owed to him.

Afterwards Danny and Nardi set up a meeting with Jack Licavoli (Tony Lo Bianco). It turns out that Licovoli has had trouble trying to get the garbage men of Cleveland to join the union. Danny and Nardi offer to help – in exchange for a percentage. Keith Ritson’s (Vinnie Jones) violent methods are then enlisted in Danny’s new venture. Danny then goes over to Mike Frato’s (Steve Schirripa) house to convince him to join the union. After Mike declines, Danny faces the possibility that Mike may have to be killed.

Word is out that Art has been gambling again and that he is going to testify against high-ranking members of the mafia, so Danny hatches a plan to kill Art. He enlists Art’s help to put a bomb underneath Mike Frato’s car. Then while Art is planting the bomb underneath Mike’s car, Danny detonates the bomb early and kill’s Art in the process. Mike is then under the assumption that Danny tried to kill him. So while Danny is exercising in the park, Mike attempts to run him down. Mike fails and he is shot in the head by Danny. Danny is arrested by Joe (Kilmer) for killing Mike, but subsequently gets released without charge because it was self-defense. After killing Mike Frato, Danny’s wife leaves him and takes their children with her.

Four years have then passed. As Danny is entering his home, he sees debt collectors at Mrs O’Keefe’s (Fionnula Flanagan) home. Danny decides to pay Mrs O’Keefe’s debt, and she gives Danny her father’s gold crucifix (for good luck).

Danny then visits Shondor (Walken), and he agrees to invest money into a restaurant with Danny. To invest in Danny’s new venture, Shondor loans $70,000 from the Gambino’s. A courier is arranged to pick up the money from New York, but the courier spends the money on 6 kilos of cocaine. During a police raid the courier is arrested and the cocaine is confiscated. Danny then discovers that he has to pay back the money he borrowed from the Gambino’s (with interest). Danny tells Shondor that he hired the courier, and he should be the one to pay back the money. Danny then has a falling out with Shondor, and a contract is placed on Danny’s life. Nardi informs Danny of the hit, and tells him that he should make amends with Shondor. The first hit on Danny's life fails when his radio starts to receive static. Danny realizes there’s a bomb on his car, and he jumps out of the car seconds before the bomb detonates. Danny then receives information of Shondor’s current whereabouts and places a bomb underneath Shondor's car. Greene then detonates the bomb outside a church and kills Shondor in the process.

Jack Licavoli is made the new Don of Cleveland and he tells Danny that he has to pay 30% for doing business on his turf. Danny declines and tells Licavoli he’s in business for himself, and Licavoli then puts a hit out on Danny. Afterwards, Billy (Marcus Thomas) is offered to go into business with a gangster named Tommy – once Danny is dead. Billy kills Tommy and tries to phone Danny to warn him of the hit. Billy fails to phone in time and a bomb explodes in Danny’s house. Miraculously Danny and his new girlfriend escape unharmed. Then while Danny is exercising in a nearby field, another attempt is made on his life by Jack Licavoli. A sniper attempts to shoot Danny and fails. Danny chases the sniper, but he fails to catch the sniper in time.

Nardi and Danny decide to officially become business partners. Together they decide to bring down Licavoli and take over Cleveland together. Many of Licavoli’s associates are then killed in hits organized by Danny and Nardi. Because of all the problems in Cleveland, Jack Licavoli travels to New York to attend a meeting with Anthony Salerno (Paul Sorvino). Salerno tells Jack that he is becoming an embarrassment and he asks him why he hasn’t killed Danny yet. Salerno then offers to help Licavoli, and Salerno's offer is accepted.

Danny considers buying a cattle ranch in Texas, so that he and his new girlfriend can live in peace. To do this he needs to raise $2 million, so he and Nardi travel to New York to seek a loan off Anthony Salerno. Danny offers Salerno 50% of the profits and tells him of how much money there is to be made in Texas. Salerno tells Danny that he will consider his proposition. After Danny leaves, Salerno announces to his associates that they’re going to kill Danny and Nardi. To make sure that this is done effectively, Salerno hires hitman Ray Ferritto (Robert Davi).

After a meeting with Danny in a car park, a bomb goes off on Nardi's car. The mortally wounded Nardi dies in Danny’s arms, and simultaneously Billy is killed in a set-up at the docks by Licavoli’s men. Then as Keith (Jones) is leaving his home, he mistakes Ferritto’s car for Danny’s, and he is killed instantly. Ferritto then taps into Danny’s girlfriend’s phone, and he retrieves information about Danny’s upcoming appointment at the dentist.

On October 6, 1977, Danny Greene goes to his dentist appointment. After the appointment, a kid says to Danny that his cousin wants to be just like him. Danny then gives the kid Mrs O’Keefe’s gold crucifix. As Danny gets into his car he notices Ferritto driving past slowly. Danny knows that he is about to die and accepts it. As Ferritto detonates the bomb, Danny points to Ferritto with his finger (mimicking a handgun). The bomb kills Danny Greene instantly.

In a narration, the audience is told of how Danny Greene's death led to the indictment of multiple high-ranking members of organized crime. The narration ends with Manditski saying that organized crime in Cleveland hasn't been the same since.

Cast

Development

‘Kill the Irishman’ had been in development since 1997. Producer Tommy Reid heard that a Ohio policeman (Rick Porrello) was about to publish a book about Greene called ‘To Kill the Irishman’. Reid immediately flew to Ohio and met with Porrello. Porrello’s Grandfather had been a leading Cleveland Mafioso figure in the prohibition era, and they both immediately got on with each other during the meeting. On ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ in 1998, they finally signed a deal for the film rights to Porrello’s book.[2]

After signing the deal, Reid was convinced he had struck gold. Reid said that he “wanted to be a part of this (the movie)” and “bring this movie to the big screen”. Reid never wanted to settle for a ‘TV movie of the week’, and he dreamed of this as a big movie. Reid could never anticipate the journey he would have to undertake to get the movie off the ground. He was constantly leaving deals where handshakes were made, but the ‘money-men’ kept disappearing. Reid also made shocking discoveries where (on numerous occasions) the script he’d commissioned - word-for-word - was attached to a cover with another screenwriter and producer’s name listed. According to Reid it was “wake-up 101” for him and “this was Hollywood”.[2]

Slowly the years started passing by, and Reid’s determination to get the movie made eventually turned into desperation. Renewing the possibility of getting this film made became very costly for Reid, and he spent over six-figures of his personal fortune to ensure that the movie was made.[2]

Pre-production

Inspiration

Producer Tommy Reid grew up in New Jersey, and being a big fan of mafia movies such as The Godfather and Goodfellas, he aspired to become a film maker. Reid is three-quarters Irish and a quarter Italian, and he wanted to make a movie that would relate to both sides of his ancestry.[15] He (Reid) first heard about mobster Danny Greene from his roommates in Ohio, and he initially didn’t believe what he was being told about Danny Greene. Reid stated that he would “never have believed” that there was mafia in Cleveland. Reid had never heard of Danny Greene before, and he believed that New York, Chicago and Boston were the “three meccas of mafia crime”. Even though there wasn’t much documentation on the history of Danny Greene, Reid could never forget the story he was told. Then after hearing that Rick Porrello was about to publish a book about Danny Greene and the mafia history in Cleveland, Ohio, Reid was inspired to make a movie about Danny Greene’s life.[16]

Background research

Prior to making Kill the Irishman, Tommy Reid did extensive research on Danny Greene's life and organized-crime in Cleveland. Reid spoke with Sister Barabara Eppich (a nun), who helped to raise Danny Greene during his childhood. Reid stated that Greene's life was "basically laid in front of him for the rest of his life". Sister Eppich told Reid that "Danny Greene was abandoned during childhood" and was raised by his grandfather. She stated that Greene's grandfather worked nights, so he was left to "roam the streets at night". Sister Eppich said that Greene would "come to school dirty" and that the nuns would "wash and clean him up". She also told Reid that, even though Greene would sleep all the time, he was a "phenomenal athlete".[17]

Reid also spoke to various law enforcement organizations, including the FBI. Reid stated that when he went and talked to the FBI, they wanted to make sure he wasn't "glorifying them (the mafia)" in any way. Reid said that it wasn't his intention to glorify crime, and that“the whole message at the end of the movie is that crime doesn’t pay". It was very important to Reid that people didn't misinterpret his intentions (when making the movie).[18]

Screenplay

Even though the screenplay for the movie was adapted from Rick Porrello's book, Porrello stated that he "had minimum involvement" in writing the screenplay for the movie. The majority of the screenplay was written by Jonathan Hensleigh. Hensleigh regularly contacted Porrello, and they both agreed that they wouldn't use the real names of anyone that was still alive. Porrello stated that he was concerned "out of respect and sensitivity towards these people". Porrello also took into consideration that many of the organized-crime figures portrayed in the movie, still have family members that are alive and well.[19]

Casting

Tommy Reid began to accept the possibility that his movie was never going to be made, so he decided to make a documentary about Danny Greene called ‘Danny Greene: the Rise and Fall of the Irishman’. The documentary came out partly because of the trials and tribulations of not being able to successfully make a movie. Reid became so specialized in the Northern Ohio crime scene and Danny Greene’s life that he had to do something about it.[20] Reid stated that he thought “at least I can go to my grave saying I tried, and at least I made this documentary”.[2]

Then one day in 2009, with 17 hours of the documentary shot, Reid received news that the movie had finally been green-light. He then joined forces with production company ‘Code Entertainment’, and they finally managed to do what needed to be done to get the movie made. They started by finding a “bankable” director (Jonathan Hensleigh) to sign on to the project; then they were able to attach actors Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken to the project.[2] After Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken signed onto the project, the cast began to fill-up with well-known actors – most notably, Vincent D’Onofrio (known for Full Metal Jacket), Paul Sorvino (who played Paul Vario in Goodfellas), and Irish actor Ray Stevenson who agreed to play Danny Greene.[2] Ray Stevenson was filming The Book of Eli when he got a phone call from writer and director Jonathan Hensleigh. They arranged to have a meeting when Stevenson was back in Los Angeles. When the meeting finally took place, Stevenson was drawn to the script and immediately made a deal. Stevenson stated that Jonathan Hensleigh's script was "the biggest draw ever (to the movie)".[21]

Production

Filming

Kill the Irishman entered production in 2009 and the budget for the movie was $12 million. The movie was shot within seven weeks, mostly in and around Detroit. The reason for shooting the movie in Detroit was partly because the city gave tax credits that Cleveland would not match. [22] Another reason was because Detroit resembled more of what Cleveland looked like in the 1970's. Actor Ray Stevenson stated that Cleveland "has prettied itself up" and that they "wanted to shoot here (in Cleveland)", but the city no longer looked the same. Stevenson went on to say that Detroit is still "on its knees", and that the city resembles more of the economic struggles that plagued Cleveland during the 1970's.[23]

Crime-related incidences

There were a number of incidences that occurred during the filming of the movie. During filming, one of the trucks used in the movie ended up with seven bullet holes in its side. Ray Stevenson said that "Detroit is a dangerous place" and that you've "just got to roll with it".[24]

When the cast and crew were driving back and forth from the set, a pedestrian was shot in the neck outside a supermarket at night. The ambulance took 35-45 minutes to arrive, and ended up waiting another 35-45 minutes for the police to arrive. The paramedics refused to take the victim to hospital without a police escort. Stevenson stated that the area was a "known gang area" and that "if it's a gang member they're trying to resuscitate", then there is a good chance that the rival gang would "start taking pot-shots at the ambulance".[25]

Post-production

Effects

Danny Greene's car is blown up during an assassination attempt on his life. This is one of many explosions in the movie which the production crew had only 'one-shot' at getting right[26]

Due to the films’ limited budget, some of the effects (used in the movie) could not be replicated. Stevenson stated that everyone “had to be on point”, and that if there were any mistakes, they “couldn’t reset and go again”. Before filming the effects, the production crew and the actors “checked and re-checked” everything on the set as much as possible. Stevenson stated that everyone “had to be extremely focused” because not only didn’t they have the money to keep re-enacting the effects, but they didn’t have the time either. The movie was shot within 7 weeks, and Stevenson stated that “it (the movie) looks like a $30 million movie”, “which is a testament to everybody involved”.[27]

The final scene, in which the vehicle parked next to Danny's car is blown up (and he is ultimately killed), couldn't be re-filmed. Producer Tommy Reid stated that they only had one-shot at doing that scene because they couldn't afford to do it twice. Reid stated "We couldn’t afford to do it twice, so when the bomb blew up the car, there was only one shot to do it".[28]

Editing

During the scene in which a police car is blown up with two officers inside, writer Rick Porrello (who's book was the basis for the movie) had second thoughts about it being included in the movie. Porrello felt uncomfortable approaching Jonathan Hensleigh about the scene, but he did anyway. Porrello stated that he "really felt like" he had to say something and that "if you are going to kill a cop", it is "going to change the tone of the story". Porrello was unsure (at the time) whether the scene was kept in the movie or not, but it was anyway.[29]

Release and Reception

Distribution

‘Kill the Irishman’ premiered on March 11, 2011 in New York City at the ‘Landmark Sunshine Cinema’. Most of the cast was in attendance at the premiere in New York, including Ray Stevenson and Vincent D’Onofrio.[31][32] The movie also premiered simultaneously in Los Angeles and Cleveland before expanding to Detroit, Chicago and Boston on March 18.[32]

Even though the movie was generally well received, it was a box office disappointment. The film grossed $1,188,194 at the domestic box office (against a budget of $12 million) and $2,435,527 in domestic DVD sales.[4][33]

Reviews

‘Kill the Irishman’ received mixed-positive reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 63% of critics gave the movie a positive review. The movie has a rating of 5.6 out of 10.[34] Mike LaSalle of the 'San Francisco Chronicle' stated that “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”.[35]

Marshall Fine of the Huffington Post gave the film a mixed review. He criticized the movie for jumping through different events in a "jerky fashion", but summed up the movie on a positive note by saying that Kill the Irishman is a "movie with a lot of meat on the bone, even if some of it is tough or stringy. It's not fancy, but it's always tasty".[36]

The movie has a rating of 7.2 out of 10 on IMDB. The rating is based on the votes of over 31,000 IMDB users. The Majority of the users gave Kill The Irishman a rating of 7 out of 10.[37][38]

Historical inaccuracy

The death of Alex "Shondor" Birns

‘Kill the Irishman’ contains many historical inaccuracies. This has been noted by many critics, with one stating that the main problem with the movie was that it seemed “all too willing to sacrifice historical accuracy in the name of an easy-to-digest narrative”. [39] In the movie, Danny Greene kills Shondor Birns by detonating a bomb on his car. In reality, even though Birns was killed by a car bomb, there was never any evidence to link Greene to his murder. [40] Even though it is commonly speculated that Greene killed Birns, his murder remains ‘officially’ unsolved. [41]

Many of the dates given in the movie are also inaccurate. An example is with the murder of Shondor Birns. Birns was murdered on March 29, 1975 (in the movie, it's March 8). The movie also misspells the name of the church standing in for St. Malachi (near where Shondor was murdered). In the movie it is spelt "St. Malichy's".[42]

The death of Art Sneperger

In the movie, Danny’s discovers that his friend (Art Sneperger) is about to become an informant, so he decides to kill him in a botched car bombing. Danny is shown to have Sneperger place a bomb on Mike Frato’s car. Danny then detonates the bomb early (and thus kills Art in the process). In reality, there have been many rumors about Art Sneperger’s death, but his death remains unsolved. Some investigators speculated that radio interference caused the bomb to detonate early, whereas others speculated that Greene killed him after learning he was going to become an informant.[43]

Home video

After a limited theatrical release, Kill the Irishman was released on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment on June 14, 2011.[44] As of 2015, the movie has grossed $2,435,527 in domestic DVD sales.[45]
