Good acting bad film. An imperial guard and his three traitorous childhood friends ordered to hunt him down get accidentally buried and kept frozen in time. In essence, this Captain America of the East was supposed to be big-budget action blockbuster spectacle, weighty enough to warrant a two-parter release not unlike 'Red Cliff'.Yet after all that hype, 'Iceman' is worse than 'The Monkey King' and almost as bad as 'Special ID'.

The problem is that it is almost entirely derivative of *insert name of any gangster/crime movie of the past 30 years here*. Video availability outside of United States varies. watch The Iceman on 123movies: In the 1960s, Richard Kuklinski is working as a porn film lab tech until his mob bosses persuade him to change his career into that of a contract killer. everywhere, everydevice, and everything ;).

I watched the 3 HBO interviews with Richard Kuklinski right before watching this film, so I was extremely disappointed to see that the script gave the usual Hollywood spin to a story, rather than presenting the real story.
