Horror Vault's take

Based on the chilling real-life case of Richard Kuklinski, this crime thriller follows a man who somehow maintained the appearance of a devoted New Jersey family man while operating as a ruthless contract killer for organized crime. Michael Shannon anchors the film with an icily controlled performance that makes Kuklinski's capacity for violence all the more disturbing precisely because of how ordinary he seems. The film explores the terrifying gap between a killer's public face and his true nature, asking how much darkness can hide behind a suburban front door.
