The Iceman. 2012.
Michael Shannon plays Richard Kuklinski, a porn movie tech who becomes a contract killer for his bosses.
Wow this film shows how a mild mannered family man who became a killer and kept his new profession a secret from his wife. Winona Ryder plays the doting wife who gets the brunt of her husband's anger. The film doesn't mention anything about Richard's upbringing with violence.
Ray Liotta plays the mobster who wants to control his new hitmans contracts and gets a tad upset when his best killer goes freelance. Chris Evans plays the mentor to Richard and teaches him different creative ways to kill his targets. There is scenes that do depict realism of violence that can be upsetting but this is a film I'd watch again. The acting, writing and directing is awesome right from the start to the end credits.
