The Iceman (2012)


IMDb plot summary: The story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer and family man. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters had any clue about his real profession.
Directed by Ariel Vromen. Starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans, and Ray Liotta.

Michael Shannon is good as always, but like so many biopics, it feels more like a chronicling of individual unconnected events than an actual story arc.

2 stars.
