No this isn't a superhero movie, Iceman is based on the true story of a mob hitman who managed to keep his violent secret away from his family. Michael Shannon stars in this biopic but comes off rather robotic in this one. The directors fail to humanize or demonize the Iceman, who had killed about a hundred people for the mob. His indifference towards killing came off as... indifferent. I've seen others describe this as a made-for-TV movie and it certainly had that feel to it. This is no Goodfellas as it fails to provoke any real emotion out of the moviegoer and the plot is only mildly interesting.
5/10 -- a mediocre film. Michael Shannon is much better than this.
