Thought it was okay


I've seen a couple Iceman documentaries over the years, so I was interested in how they nailed it. You wouldn't recognize Chris Evans as Mr. Softie until he ditches the hippie wig (?) near the end :).

I think they changed around who was doing the butchering and dismemberment. There was a 6 hour mafia origins documentary special on Discovery channel (?). That had Roy DeMeo and his crew luring victims to the Gemini club, where they were ambushed, killed, dismembered, and put in garbage bags. They had sanitation trucks dump the bags into a landfill where they were covered under tons of garbage, never to be found. This movie has Kuklinski and Mr. Softie doing this at their warehouse, while Roy DeMeo's hands stayed clean. In the documentaries, it was Demeo, a trained butcher, and his crew that did the dismemberment while Kuklinski was a clean-kill type.

There was a couple of times where they made you believe Kuklinski had a conscience, then surprises you when he kills the guy anyway :). The fake cyanide scene was nice :). He sees that the cat is still alive and wonders :)...

An old school tough guy actor I haven't seen in a while is here, Robert Davi! And Ray Liotta was good as Roy DeMeo. Not for everyone, but a must see for mob followers.
