where was his Son?


I wondered why there was no mention of his son, what possible reason was there for leaving his existence out of the film?

just really odd crap wasn't it?i don't know either...but good guy or bad guy Kuklinksi deserves a true story been told and making characters up and or leaving people out didn't help!..i guess people will say his son hated him so didn't want to be in the film but then so did his wife??

Wow! Until I saw this post I didn't realise he had a son. Can't imagine why they left him out of the "true" story. Bizarre!

I'd completely forgotten i'd written this so thank you for replying!...yeah its totally weird and i can't help but feel that there's more to Kuklinski's story then we're been told!, like he may of been a fall guy or scape goat etc etc....i totally don't get a 100% ''bad guy'' vibe off him on the interviews on Youtube!

I liked the movie which I thought was generally structured pretty well, supposedly claiming to be "true". But it just seems strange that the son was ignored, while his relationship with his daughters and wife was played up to the hilt.

I think the film could have also dealt more with his upbringing. All we got was a 20 second flashback suggesting things weren't that good. The scene that popped up with his brother also seemed kind of divorced from the rest of the film too, asking more questions than suppling any particular answers.
