Michael Shannon Will Give You Chills as "The Iceman"
22 hours ago | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
If the three essential components to a slam-dunk film are captivating subject matter, great writing, and an amazing cast, The Iceman hits two out of three. The script feels anemic, and can’t even be rescued by the film’s completely overqualified cast that skillfully portrays the (true) life story of Richard Kuklinski – a Jersey city hitman and mass murderer who also happens to be a devoted husband and father. Relatively unknown before now, director Ariel Vromen managed to bring together a pretty impressive cast for his biggest film yet, including Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, Chris Evans, Stephen Dorff, David Schwimmer, and James Franco.

Iceman, The | Review
17 May 2013 1:29 PM, PDT | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »
Michael Shannon. My God. Michael Shannon. If you want to see a perfect example of an actor dominating a screen and elevating a solid if somewhat pedestrian film to something approaching the sublime, look no further than The Iceman. When is the actor that director Jeff Nichols referred to as "the greatest actor in the world" going to become as renowned as his talent and role selectivity warrant? Contrary to my expectations, his performance in Take Shelter didn't do it. But between this stupefying performance, his recent legendary Delta Gamma sorority letter reading, and his upcoming turn as General Zod in Man of Steel, it's only a matter of time. Richard Kuklinski (Michael Shannon) was a real-life American monster, a Jersey City hit man and mass murderer who admitted to murdering over 100 people, although the true body count is unknown but possibly much higher. While the film hints at potential reasons for Kuklinski's psychopathic behavior, »

The Iceman – The Review
17 May 2013 4:50 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Michael Shannon is one hell of an actor. However, even he can’t save the bad writing of The Iceman.
Here’s the deal. What they are trying to accomplish is to make “The Iceman” or Richard Kuklinski a compelling character that you feel compassion for. The story is based on Kuklinski, so he is the main focus. The murders, unfortunately, fall a bit flat. Despite focusing on his hundreds of kills, they shine more of the limelight on his love for his family. I feel that some might be disappointed with the lack of focus on the murders, but the film itself concentrates more on the man. The script feels a bit weak still. All of the compassion felt for Kuklinski comes from Michael Shannon. He is a fantastic actor who offers a complete dimension of layers. Still, the writing doesn’t begin to do justice to what they »

Michael Shannon is on course to be a huge star.

‘The Iceman’ boasts a solid ensemble, but a weak, rushed script
16 May 2013 9:05 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Ariel Vromen
Written by Ariel Vromen and Morgan Land
USA, 2012
The Iceman exists in a strange kind of cinematic purgatory, in which reside those movies that are both too rushed and too slow. With actors like Michael Shannon, Chris Evans, and Winona Ryder among the key players, this period piece about a particularly sociopathic Mob enforcer’s rise to some level of infamy is, at best, decent. But the script fast-forwards through so much of its lead character’s life and allows seemingly mundane events play out in near-slow motion, making The Iceman a drawn-out experience.
Shannon is Richard Kuklinski, a hulking but quiet young man whose job working at a porno lab circa 1964 leads him to working as a cold-blooded hitman for mid-level mobster Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta), taking out any number of people who’ve done Roy or his bosses wrong. Kuklinski balances his »

Film Review: Great Michael Shannon Performance Can’t Thaw ‘The Iceman’
16 May 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Rating: 2.5/5.0
Chicago – Another great Michael Shannon performance should come as no surprise as everything he touches lately seems to be interesting, from “Take Shelter” to “Boardwalk Empire” to letters written by batshit crazy sorority girls. However, his increasingly impressive ability can’t save “The Iceman,” a misguided, clichéd hitman flick that careens tonally and doesn’t really justify its existence. It doesn’t work as thriller or as drama, serving as little more than a performance piece for its talented star.
“The Iceman” was the alias for the notorious Richard Kuklinski, a seemingly average guy who happened to be a total psychopath. The most successful people find a way to turn their skills into financial assets and Kuklinski became one of the most notorious mob hitmen of the twentieth century after crossing paths with the legendary Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta). Kuklinski worked at one of DeMeo’s porn production houses »

The Iceman is a Decent Crime Film that Fails to Live up to its Premise
15 May 2013 1:35 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Ariel Vromen
Written by Ariel Vromen and Morgan Land
USA, 2013
It’s kind of baffling that it’s taken this long to make a movie about Richard Kuklinski. Quiet family man is secretly a prolific murderer working as a hitman for the Jersey mob, completely unbeknownst to his family? That’s the kind of thing Hollywood loves, give him nymphomaniac wife and Lou Gehrig’s disease and you got a three picture series with Robert Downey Jr. and Naomi Watts, no problem. Maybe throw in Jerry Stiller as the comedically Jewish dad.
Instead, we’ve got The Iceman, a somewhat under-the-radar thriller starring Michael Shannon, Ray Liotta, Ray Liotta’s increasingly weird hairline, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans and directed by fairly unknown filmmaker Ariel Vromen.
The short version is that the film is a fairly average mob/thriller/drama affair that wisely focuses on the human »

Tsr Exclusive: ‘The Iceman’ Interview with Co-Writer/Director Ariel Vromen
15 May 2013 8:58 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
The ever-so-intense Michael Shannon plays true life hitman Richard Kuklinski in The Iceman, a bloody drama about the family man who claimed to have murdered over 100 people for the mafia. In the biopic, Shannon is joined by an ensemble cast that includes Chris Evans, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, James Franco, David Schwimmer, Robert Davi, and Stephen Dorff.
The film is co-written and directed by Ariel Vromen, who has his biggest project yet with Iceman. Vromen has directed two films previously, Danika with Marisa Tomei in 2006, and Rx with Colin Hanks, Lauren Grahan, and Eric Balfour in 2005, which he also co-wrote.
In a phoner interview, I talked with Vromen about his film, the rising star the drives it, the question of secrecy that it asks, the incredible moments of tension between Michael Shannon and Ray Liotta, and more.
The Iceman opens in Chicago on May 17.

Ryder and Liotta on The Iceman and co-star Michael Shannon
15 May 2013 8:06 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
It's the true story of mafia hit-man Richard Kuklinski.
The Iceman, as he was nicknamed - partly from his stone-cold demeanour and partly because he used to store bodies on ice, was interesting because he was also a devoted family man. He loved his wife and kids, and in the movie, claimed he didn't kill women or children. Quite a trait/code for a contract killer, wouldn't you say?
Michael Shannon portrays Kuklinski in an eerily intimidating, appropriately cold-as-ice way. His co-stars include a barely recognizable Chris Evans, David Schwimmer, James Franco, Stephen Dorff, Ray Liotta as mob-boss Roy Demeo and Winona Ryder as Kuklinski's wife Deborah.
We had a chance to sit down with Liotta and Ryder in September during the Toronto International Film Festival to talk about their movie. »

New TV Spot from The Iceman with Michael Shannon
14 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Before he thunders around the screen as Zod in Man Of Steel, Michael Shannon is being his bad ass self in The Iceman, based on the real life mob hitman Richard “The Iceman Kuklinski, who was responsible for over 200 murders. At this point, Shannon plays these kinds of bad guy roles in his sleep. The dude has some intensity and presence about him! He genuinely looks like he could explode!! Synopsis: Richard Kuklinski (Michael Shannon) and his wife Deborah (Winona Ryder) appear to have a model American life, living with their three children in an idyllic suburban ranch house with a big lawn on a quiet street. But unbeknownst to Deborah and the kids, when Kuklinski goes off to work in the morning — or, on occasion, in the middle of dinner or the middle of the night — he is carrying out executions at the behest of the Gambino crime family, »

Michael Shannon has pretty much cornered the market when it comes to terrifyingly intense tough guys. But before we kneel before him as Zod in Superman reboot Man Of Steel, he’s bringing his own unique brand of menace to The Iceman. Shannon takes the title role as real-life mafia hitman, Richard Kuklinski, who was said to have killed more than 100 people over the course of his career. A New Jersey resident of Polish and Irish descent, Kuklinski was a devoted family man in his downtime, a characteristic which is in stark contrast to...

Nichols & Shannon To Reunite On Science-Fiction Thriller
10 May 2013 4:05 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Writer/director Jeff Nichols and his intensely masterful muse Michael Shannon are now planning on their fourth feature film project together following the acclaimed work with Shotgun Stories, Take Shelter and Mud. Shannon, who we can’t wait to see in bad-ass mode as General Zod in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man Of Steel, will headline Nichols’ currently untitled science-fiction epic, rumoured to centre on a present-day chase.
Warner Bros. Pictures are set to finance and distribute the untitled thriller (possibly after bring impressed with Shannon’s work on their DC comic-book update, which should make him a household name) with Sarah Green and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones producing. We can’t wait!
Shannon can first be seen in well-receieved hitman biopic The Iceman, as notorious mafioso killer Richard Kuklinski, released in the Us last week and the UK 7th June.
