the iceman (2012). directed by ariel vromen


i am a big fan of micheal shannon. i think he carries this movie very well when at times it seems to falter, but this movie has a great supporting cast so it looks pretty well done. the duality of family man vs contract killer as a day job illustrates hannah arendt's concept on the banality of evil - that evil serves only as a stepping stone to a petty ambition - which in this case is basic - like putting food on the table and sending your kids to private catholic schools.
