“Michael
Shannon stars as notorious contract killer Richard
Kuklinski in this biopic from director Ariel Vromen
(Rx, Danika). To his
loving wife Deborah (Winona Ryder)
and their growing family, Kuklinski
was a caring father. But he was also a man with a dark secret and an unusual
talent for covering his tracks. For nearly three decades starting in the 1950s,
the suburban family man worked as one of the Gambino crime family's chief
executioners, earning the nickname "Iceman" for his use of freezers
in obscuring the forensic details of his victim's deaths. By constantly varying
his methods, Kuklinski
made it virtually impossible for investigators to assemble an accurate profile
of the killer credited with taking over 100 lives. A protégé of seasoned
assassin Robert "Mister Softee" Pronge (Chris Evans),
the elusive contract killer struggles to reconcile his relationship with his
sociopathic brother Joseph (Stephen Dorff)
while nurturing a close friendship with his Gambino contact Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta).
Then, in 1986, an arrest brings Kuklinski's
violent career to a sudden end, “ (http://www.fandango.com/theiceman_v570515/plotsummary

As a movie/music
blogger, I enjoyed the music better than the movie at times. Based on the true
story, Kuklinski killed over 100 people; the movie had a lot of violence. With
the music being very mild and almost background music, it was the perfect
combination of a bloody story inspired by true events in Dumont, NJ.
