The Iceman is a riveting crime thriller based on the true story of Richard Kuklinski, a chillingly efficient contract killer. Set in the 1980s, the film explores the astonishing dual life that Kuklinski led - a doting family man at home, and a ruthless murderer-for-hire in his secretive career.
The story unfolds as Kuklinski is arrested in 1986, and the shocking truth about his profession is revealed to his unsuspecting wife and daughters. This revelation shatters their world, as they had no inkling of the dark path he had chosen. The film delves into the psychological complexities of Kuklinski's double life, as he manages to maintain an impeccable façade while carrying out horrifying acts of violence.
