Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, they're mainstream actors who can play a good gangster character, Joe Pesci even better, but Ray Liotta has the ICE COLD stare. Stone cold gangster stare and voice to give you chills. Excellent actor. Wish he would've made more gangster films that would bring out the best, most realistic and intense dark character. Like Re-do of Edward G. Robinson's Little Caeser
You ever see Something Wild? Jonathan Demme did that right after Stop Making Sense and just before Silence of the Lambs. Ray nailed that role, and I think it was his first big part.
Fun fact: besides this Richard Kuklinsky there was also Richard(Ryszard) Kuklinski - a polish army officer who revealed soviet nuclear strike plan on Europe and most likely prevented WW3. There's a polish movie about him called "Jack Strong"
I have to say mike Shannon was built for roles such as this one and the likes of boardwalk empire. Great underrated actor who should carry weight with all the greats. He is truly A LISTER
Exactly. That's why Black Mass with Johnny Depp looking like a vampire instead of Whitey Bulger, because they tried too hard with the makeup and appearance, was less fun to watch for me.
Jamie B Depp did an amazing job at acting just like him. And the dark eyes was actually accurate because when he was in prison they gave him a crazy ass ridiculous amount of LSD for experimentation back at that time. Prisoners could partake in LSD experiments in exchange for lesser time, and Whitey did that, and he consumed an incredible amount of LSD, and because of that his eyes were dark dark black.
@@HollandDamien spot on. They were so wrapped up in turning Depp into a clone of Whitey Bulger I think it became a distraction and they lost focus on making a good quality movie.
Kuklinski was a serious psycho. But the idea that he was a good husband and father is a myth. His ex has always tried to sell that story, but his kids say he was a terrifying monster all the time. They were scared to death of him. He was every bit as abusive as you'd expect.
Sometimes being overprotective of kids can cause them to be terrified of you even if you have never abused them. Trauma comes in many different forms. Kinda like robert dinero and his daughter in the irishman. Grocery story owner slaps daughters hand cuz she accidentally tipped over some merchandise and when her father (dinero) hears about it he takes daughter to the store to confront the man and beats the shit out of the man for disrespecting his daughter. Most people will salute him for what hes done but the daughter saw things differently and from there on was terrified of him and kept a distance from him as she thought he was a monster. Nobody knows the truth about kuklinskis relationship with his daughters or wife except them so its easy to assume things from our pov
You end up this way if you accumulate enough trauma in your life. Something inside you suddenly snaps and you’re no longer someone who gives a shit anymore. The phrase “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is bull shit. When you go through some terrible shit that changes you and no one is around to give a single fuck about you you’ll inevitably end up a killer.

I know it's a movie. But if that's someone's reaction, he's seeing it, he's aware, there's gears spinning. They're not normal gears. "What do you want?" Like he's annoyed. Those gears are shaped like a triangle and they're spinning backwards.
I rented this movie from CZcams and "loosely" depicts actions from his real life. I rented it for 48 but only watched it once if that tells you anything
Hopefully the Iceman made peace with His ! Because non repentance has it's reward ! You would face judgement and end up in the place. Called " Hell ......why?
@@tyronemalone4158 A lot of people say it s all a fake story. But I want to believe in in Tommy pitera, Greg scarpa, Roy demeo. They are like superheroes.

So bad. I don't know what's worse; Ray Liotta playing Roy Demeo or the chap done up to look like Nino Gaggi taking orders from him. Nino was Roy's boss
I'm not married. Cold,....? My bad... . I don't give a s*** because I feel anything that I start to succeed at will be sabotaged. so there's no point in trying
When ray Liotta pulled the gun on iceman I felt so much sympathy for him. Just leave him alone. When he said what do you want my heart dropped. Very misunderstood the iceman
Good actors but this movie is hard to watch when you listen to the source material. The only part that happened in this movie that actually happened in real life is Roy DeMeo smacking around Kuklenski, that’s it.
That only happened in the interviews, not real life. 95% of his claims were lies. He killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related. The Darkness Underneath podcast on CZcams does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information.✌️
Roy DeMeo was subservient to Nino Gaggi. I hate how they portray Nino as the paper boy,it was the exact opposite. Nino went back to the 40's w Cosa Nostra.
What did you expect? Lol. Not only does the movie perpetuate the myth that Kuklinski was actually a hitman it portrays him as a loving father who didn't give regular beatings to his wife in front of the children.
...Ray Liotta as Roy DeMeo... C'MON, WILL 'YA?? ... He looks DEVASTATED by alcohol and drugs! Though Michael shannon is a DAMN GOOD actor - nothing to say! ...
"you got girlfriend?"
"im married.."
"then why do you act like you dont give a shit?"
"....im married"
if he had said that they would have all laughed.
😂😂
someones gotta splice up the clip where he repeats that hahah
Lol double edged sword either men care or they have nothing too loose and don’t care about even themselves or family
He's dead inside. He's married...
jaja good one
Amen

This made my day😂😂😂😂
Who isn’t
Michael Shannon is a underrated actor he’s amazing ....

By the way they forgot to indicate when they were going to park... just saying.
Well crap I didn't know he died. 😥

Does he live?
"So!... - RICHARD! - are YOU successful in life???" - "No!" - "WHY?" - "I GOT THE FEELING MY BOSS DOESN'T LIKE ME!"
This scene. Ray points a gun on Michael's face. And he is cold as ice.
Just a perfect scene with perfect actors 👍
I see. Shannon's genius isn't attaining a precise likeness of Iceman, but rather in nailing his character.
Exactly. That's why Black Mass with Johnny Depp looking like a vampire instead of Whitey Bulger, because they tried too hard with the makeup and appearance, was less fun to watch for me.

Where you see joaquin phoenix
Watch the departed to be confused.
Underrated Movie. Great Cast. Dark Story. Must watch the HBO interviews afterwards if you never have. Even more terrifying.
Only been married 10 years. Im about as excited about life as that guy.

If you haven't seen it yet watch this movie. Michael Shannon played Kuklinski very well especially in scenes where someone threatened his family.
“Have a heart it’s the holidays…” Said Roy, never.
Makes him deliver a quarter. Definitely not about the bum
Literally has Richard kill him a minute later...
“Dudes cold as ice.”
“I’m married”
Well that explains everything.
LOL
Caught this the other day & The Grey Man. Both very good for double feature movie date night.

Yeah I felt it glorified him as a decent person or some shit. Still an alright movie but the real Richard Kuklinski was an absolute monster.
Guess I could say, answering machine broken?
Why didn’t they put the parts in the movie were he claimed to have killed Jimmy Hoffa, Paul Castellano, and Roy Demeo?
Cause he didn’t Lmfaoo
Where did he claim to kill him?
? That's what the Irishman claimed

No. It was awful. HBO specials were great. Books were really good with great detail. Movie was horrible. Shut it off not even half way through.
Worth a watch. ....
come on you got to feel something for someone!!!!!!
I have to see this movie ! Considering it is based on true events...
Good movie, they picked a good guy to play Richard too!
How does liotta get these roles? He's literally the same person in every movie 🤣
