Kill the Irishman

What I didn't like:

• It wasn't filmed in Cleveland.
• The dialog was at times, kind of weak.
• The score of the movie was just ok.  The Irish song that they played a lot sounded like the song from Titanic.

What I liked:

• It's about a guy from Cleveland, it takes place in Cleveland, and there are a lot of Cleveland references.
• Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Christopher Walken all did a fine job acting.
• It was entertaining.
• It looked like they used a different type of film when shooting the movie so it had that 60's/70's vibe to it.  It wasn't all bright and shiny and new.
• The special effects were pretty good.  A couple of cool explosions.
• Lots of familiar mobster faces: Paul Sorvino, Steve Schirripa, Vinnie Jones, and Tony Darrow.
• Fionnula Flanagan, aka Eloise Hawking from Lost.
