“Loving husband. Devoted father. Ruthless killer.”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Inspired by actual events, The Iceman follows notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski (Michael Shannon) from his early days in the mob until his arrest for the murder of more than 100 men. Appearing to be living the American dream as a devoted husband and father; in reality Kuklinski was a ruthless killer-for-hire. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters have any clue about his real profession.
THE ICEMAN is the electrifying true story of Richard Kuklinski: loving husband, devoted father, ruthless killer. The notorious mob contract killer and family man is believed to have killed more than 250 people between 1954 and 1985. He earned his nickname by freezing the bodies of his victims, disguising the time of death, and throwing police off-track. He was a man who used his tendencies toward violence and detachment from consequence to create an idyllic family life. His family and neighbors believed he was an average businessman, having no idea about his deadly alternate life. He reportedly never felt remorse for anything he had done, except hurting his family.”
