Burnt Money and Unsolved Murder: Watch This Clip From the ‘Kill the Irishman’ Special Features Documentary
As you might know, Kill the Irishman is based on a lot of true stories. It’s also based on what little can be known about those true stories. Starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Val Kilmer, Linda Cardellini, and Christopher Walken, the film focuses on Danny Greene, a brutal man in league with the mob during the rough and tumble times of 1970s Cleveland.
Fortunately, Cleveland looks exactly the same, so setting it in the 1970s wasn’t a big deal.
The movie is out on DVD this week, and included in the special features is a documentary about the real-life story. This clip is a little bit sad, a little bit grotesque, and it’s a stirring reminder of the violence that men do.
What do you think?
