3592 - O HOMEM DE GELO (2012)

As a hit man, 'Iceman' a model of productivity - Chicago Tribune
Michael Shannon, perfeito como assassino funcional

O HOMEM DE GELO (THE ICEMAN, USA 2012) – O filme vale pela atuação marcante de Michael Shannon, se equilibrando entre o pai de família exemplar e matador psicopata sem qualquer laivo de consciência. Seu Richard Kuklinski é absolutamente magnifico. Michael Shannon giving a strong performance as the hit-man with the calculating and creepy demeanor of a psychopathic killer with no conscience who can still flip the switch back to his life in the suburbs with wife and kids. Yet a shade of subtlety and pathos in his portrayal of Kuklinski that we can actually identify and take some interest in his struggles. Michael Shannon's portrait of real-life hit man Richard Kuklinski is absolutely superb. You really feel drawn into his world at various stages of his 'career', including the conflicts between his chosen profession while trying to maintain some kind of normal family life.
