6/10
As a fan of Michael Shannon, I wanted to see this movie for a while. It came on TV the other day so I watched it, and it's easy to understand why it slipped under the critical radar. Despite a solid cast and very good performances by just about everybody, the direction and plotting are so by-the-numbers that the movie never elevates itself to anything beyond "movie of the week" status. The story of film's subject, Richard Kuklinski, the family man-slash-contract killer, is such a strange and unique one that it deserves a way more interesting movie than what it was given here.
