Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The problem is that writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh doesn't do much beyond filling in the template; he's telling the specific, true-life tale of mob decline in 1970s Cleveland, but every character and setpiece feels like it fell off a truck.

rotten:
Stevenson is big and swarthy and not altogether without credibility, but he's got as much charisma as a potato.
– Steven Rea,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
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.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
24 Mar 2011
fresh:
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.
– Bill Goodykoontz,

fresh:
Hensleigh romanticizes Greene and doesn't have a very nuanced understanding of labor racketeering. That said, he does possess a fine eye for shabby urban landscapes and a nice way with explosions.
