The Iceman review

Like he did in Take Shelter, Shannon gives an astonishing performance that is maybe better than the film really deserves. It is a solid biopic otherwise, nothing special, but he is great in it and makes it worth seeing.

"Michael Shannon is a force of nature as the remorseless hitman, Richard Kuklinski, known as ‘The Iceman’ due to his propensity to store his victims’ corpses in an industrial freezer to disguise their time of death. He is one of few actors who can make you cower in the cinema, without having all that much to work with; his co-star, Ray Liotta, is pretty good, but needs the right line of dialogue and a gun to someone’s head to get close to producing the same effect...."
