Reviews for this film from our members:
- Chris Barsanti @ Film Racket
- Excerpt: …dreckish and embarrassing
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Despite the script’s lack of any reason whatsoever for us to care about or be interested in Kuklinski, Shannon does a fantastic job with what he is given. He displays the dangerous imbalance of a man who cares nothing at all for anyone but his family, whom he contrastingly protects with an often inappropriate ferocity.
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: No one in film today plays the creep as well as Michael Shannon, a fact he seems determined to remind us of every few months.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Shannon, who bears no likeness to the real Kuklinski, convinces as a serial killer who can don the face of a family man one minute and butcher bodies the next.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Shannon’s chilling performance paints such an uncompromising portrait of Kuklinski that the movie’s confused attitude toward the character is even more confounding.

- Excerpt: The sordid story of a dour, dangerous, despicable hitman.

- Excerpt: Though based on copious interviews mob killer Richard Kuklinski gave from prison, this barely broaches the great mystery of his life…

- Excerpt: Fascinating killer doesn’t generate enough interest

- Excerpt: Director/co-writer Ariel Vromen’s ‘The Iceman’ will leave audiences cold with its chilling account of a monstrous family man whose balancing act of a level-minded head of household provider and psychotic slayer-at-large will have one scratching their befuddled noggin.

- Excerpt: A refreshing addition to the contract killer biopic genre, Ariel Vromen’s Friedkinesque dramatization of Richard Kuklinski’s rise and fall, via three decades of heinous crimes, is a doozy.
