The Iceman (2012)

The tale of Richard Kuklinski is a highly intriguing one for anybody who enjoys reading about true crimes.

His nickname “The Iceman” was given to him as a result of his method of concealing crimes – freezing the bodies of victims to make it difficult to know the time of death.

Apart from murdering anybody who might say anything against him regarding his crimes, Kuklinski was heavily involved in drugs, arms and pornography.

With huge secrets hidden away from his family, the movie is based on a true story with law enforcement officers trying to bring Kuklinski to justice.

In the 1960s, Richard Kuklinski is working as a porn film lab tech until his mob bosses persuade him to change his career into that of a contract killer. For years, Kuklinski gains a reputation for cold blooded professionalism even as he raises a family who are kept in the dark about his true career. Unfortunately, 

mob politics ultimately forces him to secretly work independently with the psychopathic Robert 'Mr. Freezy' Pronge. As much as Kuklinski tries to keep his lives separate, circumstances and his own weaknesses threaten a terrible collision as the consequences of his choices finally catch up to him.
