Critics Consensus

Kill the Irishman may not add much in the way of new ingredients to its crowded genre, but the admirable efforts of a solidly assembled cast add extra depth to a familiar story.

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Certainly the filmmakers rounded up the right cast of tough-guy actors for this story of mob activity, but their presence doesn't lend much vigor to this unfocused and sentimental tale. Rated: 2/5 Apr 15, 2011 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic The cast makes up for some occasionally spotty storytelling and telegraphing of events that keep "Irishman" from being as good as it could have been. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 7, 2011 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle 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. Rated: 3/4 Mar 24, 2011 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The action, suspense, and tone of the movie are as flat as Stevenson's inflectionless dialogue. Rated: 6/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A solid indie action flick with a strong ensemble cast. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 13, 2020 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See "Kill the Irishman" is like a history book, where this and that and this other thing all happen at the appropriate moments, but there is little in the way of character development or emotional connection. Rated: C Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 46 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Val Kilmer as Joe Manditski!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $1,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Alain E Watchable but far from great. Kind like a news broadcast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Nano N Quality of the film doesnt match the all star cast but i didnt hate it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review K W Absolutely love this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Will S This movie is a series of comedically over dramatized scenes patched together into something that somewhat resembles a storyline. The acting is terrible, the script poorly written, the development of plot and characters non existent. This entire movie feels like a parody. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review A Terrible acting. No charisma. Direction and dialogue was mediocre Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
