Captivating documentary of Cleveland gangster. Crusader against the Italian mob, Danny Greene was a killer himself. The legacy of Greene, or so says the FBI involved with the case at the time, was the beginning of a the end of the heyday of organized crime in the country. Not that the Mob ceased to exist, but so many turned informants to the FBI that it was a coast to coast phenomena.

This is a great movie . I am from Ohio so I got to learn about the Cleveland Mob scene of the late 60's and 70's . Most of the tales I have ever heard were about the Youngstown Ohio mob . So this was all new ground for me . The acting was great and the movie kept you interested through out . Now I would say you would rather watch this at home rather then a theater but still it's a good film .

Well done documentary on one of Cleveland's more notorious denizens. Not only does it capture the man, it does a good job on describing the place and time.
