This is not 'The Iceman' at all.

This movie should not be linked to Richard Kuklinski.

I think i didn't enjoy this movie more because:

Unfortunately years ago i came across Richard Kuklinski(aka The Iceman) youtube interviews, and saw it thoroughly, while discussing it for some time with a friend , and when you see those videos, i doubt you will easily forget about it(you wont).

So its a pity this movie is linked with the real Iceman, Michael Shannon doesn't have the eyes of a killer, now on the other hand, Richard Kuklinski....don't take my word for it go watch the videos on youtube.

The movie itself wasn't that great, but Michael Shannon doesn't have the eyes of a killer? Are you serious? The dude is ice cold in this movie. You're crazy.

hahah yeah Shannon was intimidating as hell in this. He's got the height to. Even tho the real Kuklinski was even taller....and probably 70 lbs heavier

If you see this, right on for recommending the interviews on youtube. I watched like a 2 hour video with 3 separate interviews combined I think and he is certainly a remorseless interesting character. I am now about to watch this movie based on him and hope it doesn't do too bad of an injustice trying to legitimately portray this madmans long career of killing.

He was a compulsive liar anyway.

A terrible person and a killer, but no Mob Contract killer. He got a movie based on his countless fabrications.
