Michael Shannon is brilliantly frightening as the notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski but it's Winona Ryder who steals every scene as the frightened wife who knows nothing of his secret life. Vromen washes the screen over with as many dark colors as he possibly can creating a cold yet calculated vision. The tension never lets up making for a very unsettling watch that is both emotional and mesmerizing. It doesn't quite reach the climax it should based on the intense build-up but that's okay based on the brilliant lead performances.
