Austin Abrams’ character Max Broussard in “Do Revenge” could not be more different from his role in “Euphoria” as Ethan Lewis. And for a little bit, Abrams went back and forth between shooting the new Netflix movie (now streaming) and Season 2 of Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.
“It was really fun to go from a very nice, gentle, thoughtful guy to [an] egomaniac,” he said in an interview with TheWrap about his “Do Revenge” character. “That is just really flashy, really craving attention.”

Abrams stars alongside Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke in the young adult movie, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The film follows Drea Torres (Mendes), fallen ‘it’ girl, and Eleanor Levetan (Maya Hawke), new girl in school, as they pair up to take down each other’s enemies, hence the title “Do Revenge.

Chicago – The amalgamation of big time unions and organized crime in post-WW2 industrial America is as enlightening as any struggle for power. Cleveland, Ohio, in the 1950s thru the ‘70s was both on the waterfront and had the East Coast influence of New York City’s most notorious crime families. That history is wasted in “Kill the Irishman.”
Rating: 2.0/5.0
Writer/director Jonathan Hensleigh ignores the result of the union/crime grip on Cleveland to focus on one ruffian who seemed unable to die, despite many attempts on his person. Kill the Irishman is the true life story about the rise of Danny Greene, a longshoreman who worked his way up to union organizer, only to be corrupted by its money and power. His comes off in the film as crass and uninteresting, which seems the opposite of what probably is true.
Greene is portrayed by Ray Stevenson, who plays him...

By reputation, there are two things the Irish do exceptionally well — drink and fight.
“Kill the Irishman” is not a film about drinking.
Rather, it is based upon the real-life story of Danny Greene, a blue-collar Celt who grew up an orphan on the outskirts of Cleveland before rising to run the dockworkers union, the rackets and — eventually — the entire east end of the city.
“Irishman” kicks off with a sweeping aerial shot of mid-’70s Collinwood, a dismal menagerie of smokestacks and warehouses bordering the Lake Erie shoreline. The film’s narrator (Val Kilmer) introduces us to the city and, more importantly, Danny Greene (played by “Rome’s” Ray Stevenson). Greene is a barrel-chested pistol of a man, well read and cocksure,...
