kill the irishman (2011)

aka Bulletproof Gangster.
"We're drunks, we're fighters, we're liars! But there's a bit of good in every Irishman..."
A biopic of the Irish-American mobster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who rose through the ranks of the Cleveland unions before breaking out on his own. A charismatic man, he gained a reputation as a Robin Hood character that the Mafia could not kill, but everybody's luck runs out sometime.
Entertaining take on the mob flick, though one that never really gives more than a by the numbers reading of the genre.
