In "The Iceman," Michael Shannon, who plays a real life New Jersey hitman ..Kuklinski occupies parallel universes. In one, he works for Gambino family associate Roy DeMeo. Ray Liotta is in typically unnerving form as the Jersey mobster who initiates Kuklinski into his gang with a mix of smiling charm and abject cruelty. In the other world, Kuklinski dotes on wife Deborah (Winona Ryder) and gently engages their two daughters. He's built a refuge and guards it with vigilance. Chris Evans does a surprisingly dark turn for a guy owning the "Captain America" role. He plays Mr. Freezy, the long-haired contract killer based on hitman Robert Prongay, who keeps his victims in the freezer of his ice-cream truck before disposing of them. DeMeo hired Freezy for the same job he'd given Kuklinski. The rivals realize neither is fully trusted and begin working together without DeMeo's knowledge. All the performances in "The Iceman" command our attention. Ryder finds truth in the various modes of Deborah's life with Kuklinski: denial perhaps, a bit of fear as things begin to unravel, but mostly loving trust.
