Preview: Kill the Irishman (2011)

Synopsis:

In a city run by the Italian Mafia, an Irish thug begins to break away in hopes of taking control of the organized crime within the city.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Derivative is a word that fits this poster rather well. It's an unoriginal concept with no driving presence.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Borrowing heavily from other films set in the world of organized crime, this doesn't look like it has too many original notions in it, but could still be somewhat entertaining.

Oscar Prospects:

Oscar voters aren't particularly friendly to genre thrillers and little in the trailer suggests that they'll change their minds.

Release Date:

• March 11, 2011
