Ruining what potentially could have been the movie of the year.


I went to see the iceman last night and was very,very disappointed. I for one have read all the books and seen all the documentaries about Richard Kuklinski and this film does not bring his story or his true character to the screen at all. The story was at best,clunky,there was no substance to the story no continuity. It concentrated on parts of his life that were frankly,not important. I've been waiting for this film to come out since it was first announced and am annoyed that he was portrayed in such a dim light. Michael Shannon is a great actor but unfortunately was directed by a complete moron that only decided to tell half his story in a tame '15' rating. Absolutely gutted.

I saw it recently and agree. The source material(s) had so much meat on the bone. Ariel Vroman and Morgan Land barely pierced the skin of Kuklinski's harrowing story.



Dear Ndugu, how are you? I am fine.
