DVD Reviews of The Iceman - Confessions of a Mafia Hitman
DVD Review: Iceman Interviews
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the HBO home video DVD- 'Confessions of a Mafia Hitman'. It's a documentary that features different people interviewing Richard Kuklinski as he describes his life and crimes. Part 1 is from 1992 and part 2 is from 2001. Both are very interesting and a firsthand look at anti-social personality disorder...
Over the span of these years between interviews Richard seemed to have gotten worse. He talks so matter of factly about his crimes and seems pretty honest about everything he's done though he claims most were just for business purposes. We get to see there is more to this story and hear from him about his dysfunctional early home life, his murders, his family and his life with the mafia. We also get to hear about the one friend Kuklinski trusted who ended up setting him up and turning him in.
There's 2 iceman DVD's available and this one has about the same information in it as the other one. Slightly different camera angles between them but for the most part they were pretty much the same material other than the other DVD having some extra information with a psychiatrist which was better in my opinion. The other DVD 'The Iceman Interviews' has the one with the psychiatrist which is the only reason I prefer it to this DVD. Other than that these were good interviews and a truly interesting and disturbing look into the mind of Richard Kuklinski. 4.5 stars.
Description of The Iceman - Confessions of a Mafia Hitman
The Iceman is an appropriate title for this pair of HBO specials, because the words of former Mafia enforcer Richard Kuklinski will chill you to the bone. Speaking in the monotonous drone of a man who has numbed himself with remorseless brutality, Kuklinski was first interviewed in 1991, five years after receiving consecutive life sentences for multiple murders. Specializing in the tidy use of cyanide, Kuklinski lived a double life, like the fictional hitmen in The Sopranos and Road to Perdition, passing as a "businessman" and devoted husband and father. He describes numerous killings in graphic detail, expressing nearly tearful regret only when lamenting the deception of his family. A vicious product of child abuse, Kuklinski was visited again by HBO in 2001, but this shameless redundancy was an obvious attempt to capitalize on the Sopranos phenomenon. Fascinating as a firsthand record of Mafia killing, these otherwise unsavory interviews serve little purpose beyond morbid exploitation. --Jeff ShannonBestsellers in DVD
