Got to love Michael Shannon - that look in his eyes - it sends chills down the spine. Portraying the real-life story of Richard Kuklinski - one of the most notorious contract killers in history - is fascinating. Not just as the cold-blooded killer, but also as the family man - he seems so normal, but with a simmering rage underneath and an icy business-like demeanor in killing people for money. An excellent supporting cast (Winona Ryder, Chris Evans, James Franco, Ray Liotta and Stephen Dorff, amongst others) also lends it some credence. Great crime drama with plenty of meat on the bone to sink your teeth into.
