Movie Haiku:Another stunning performance by Michael Shannon in this BioPic about a New Jersey mob hitman who carefully "compartmentalized" his life for almost 2 decades. Ryder is also excellent as a wife who senses his inner violence but tiptoes around thinking she can keep him from imploding. Vromen films the hits with total detachment--seem from Kuklinski''s POV, murder is just a job.
