Kill the Irishman

This film follows Daniel Greene's rise to power in Clevelands organized crime community during the 1970s. Danny Greene, an Irish-American used his intimidating persona and sheer size to enforce his way to power in Clevelands organized crime world.

The film begins with Danny Greene working a low paying union dock job in Cleveland. Unhappy with the overall environment of the union and the superiors running it Danny was becoming frustrated. After an acquaintance of his had to pay of a bookkeeper for gambling Danny offered to work with them stealing cargo from the docks. This brought him into the world of organized crime. After months of stealing cargo and working with the mob Danny's union president caught word of his activity. The president confronted him and said he would go to the police unless he began to get a cut. This did not sit with with Danny and he used physical force and threatened to kill the president if he did not step down from his position. Less than a week later Danny was president of the union.

Months later, Danny was running the dock union helping the workers but at the same time continued to steal cargo. The police arrested Danny a short time later and imprisoned him. Danny faced a hefty sentence but was approached by the FBI with a plea deal of giving them information for his release. After his release Danny took the organized crime world by storm.

Danny works for the mob as a debt collector but rises to the ranks and begins using force to recruit garbage collectors to start a garbage union. Dannys crew uses the enforcement to intimidate and create a successful garbage collectors union. This leads Danny to rise power and attempt to work for himself burning many bridges along the way by killing multiple people.

At this time in Cleveland there was many bombings by both the italian mafia and Danny's crew on high ranking individuals. After multiple important individuals die there are hits placed on Danny Greene, all of which he survives. Danny realizes his end is near and attempts to raise money to move to Texas to buy a ranch and get out of organized crime.

The film ends as one would suspect. This film was a great look into Greenes career and also  organized crime not only in Cleveland but across the United States.
