I'm sure everyone is saying the HBO special the iceman tapes. But my personal favorite was the sit down with world renowned criminal psychiatrist Park Dietz. He's so calm cool and collected. At one point he turns the tables and asks Richard if he has any questions for him. When Richard asks him to basically explain why he is the way he is the doctor gives an incredible 10 minute breakdown of his entire personality. It's amazing and I highly recommend it.

I watched it. The interview with Dietz. I totally agree with you. It really reveals Kuklinski in real time. I personally feel that Kuklinski was not lying about his involvements. He wasn't a liar. As we have learned. Payment is most certainly involved in many instances. With "hired help" non- Sicilians.

@Charles RIGHT?! I miss the old HBO SO FUCKING much. Sopranos, OZ, fantastic documentaries and docuseries... it gone so far down hill. HBO was THE place to pitch a show that was not fit for regular TV. It was not afraid to be controversial. Now, they're so worried about offending anyone they don't make hardly any good original content. It's sad, really.

They're only a few actors that imo are good no matter what role they're playing even if the movie itself is a shit show. My top favorites that imho always do an awesome are Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp,Mark Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman and believe it or Will Ferrell. There are alot of good actors out there and I missed a few on this list but some actors are good for only certain types of roles where as a select few are amazing no matter who they're playing

Absolutely. Studies have shown that for those brought up by a single parent, living with just a father is much less likely to result in drug addiction, alcoholism, depression or criminality in adolescence and adulthood, than living with just a mother. I think as a society, we really need to question the default setting of automatically giving custody of the children to the female in a divorce situation.

I think she was still afraid of him in the beginning of his jail sentence, like somehow he was going to get her if she say something bad about him. But later, she realized , that's it... she will never see him again and can talk freely about everything that she couldn't tell before. She try to leave him but he stab her in the back. It's hard to imagine that trauma and realizing that you are stuck to live with the psychopath. Anyway, Michael analyzing him is as good as Park Dietz's in last part of documentary.

Thank you for saying what you said about the destruction of the family. I had my issues with my grandma and mom, but we've since made peace and are enjoying a wonderful, loving relationship. I have cousins, though, and they are going through so many problems and it comes from their parents being bad parents. One of my cousins is an opioid addict and his mom is the one that started giving him pills and letting him drink when he was a teenager. He's been in and out of jail, on and off the streets, in and out of rehab, and if breaks my heart to see. Had his mom been more responsible then he wouldn't have gone down that path. Just my thoughts on that one. Thank you again for saying that.

@@michaelfranzese Thank you for this, I always figured Kuklinski was lying about his Mafia claims. He seemed to be like Henry Lee Lucas, he was a murderous sociopath already doing life, and figured he would make up a bunch of stuff for attention. Eventually they got movies made about them. Roy Demeo seemed like he would be the last person to need to pay for outside help in committing murders. The stories about him and his crew are pretty disturbing.

A few years back I read a book where yes, every murder and especially 'contract kill' that Kuklinski boasts about was pure fiction. As Michael F says, " no-one related tothe Italian, Irish or Russian Mafia in his prison knew who he was. Sammy Gravano was the first to out him about 8 years ago and said, "this Kuklinski is full of sh#t !"

There was an interview with Kuklinski's daughter that I read. She did verify that Kuklinski was a violent abuser---but she said that HBO agreed to pay his ex-wife for those interviews. In her version of events, Kuklinski beefed up the interviews for that reason alone, and she never thought he would have even talked to the cameras until he saw he had a cash cow for his family. Not defending the guy at all, but just saying, that was probably his motivation for making up so many tales.

The opposite is true in this case. Kuklinski and his siblings were raised in a strict authoritarian Catholic household, and he was beat by both his parents. His brother Florian was killed by a beating by his father (Florian unlike "Charley Lane" the teen bully he claimed to kill) actually exists and dissapears from census records. They shared a birthday. It's people like you who think "spare the rod spoil the child" who turn people into abusers.

He was never a loving Father or Husband. Loving Father's and Husband's do not frighten their Wives and Children and certainly do not murder other human beings for money or out of temper.

I wonder if they say that so the cops stop looking for the actual other hitman just content they got the killer in jail already. I found out recently they convicted and incarcerated an innocent man as the Scarborough Rapist in Toronto so that means they just said oh we got him and stopped looking for Paul Bernardo who just moved to St. Catherines area kept raping and then murdering too of course the innocent guy accused was also a victim but of the faulty justice system instead and Pauls future victims too since the cops enabled Paul by not even looking for him anymore and framing some poor sap.

Your judged on what kind of person you are while living and I so hope it's true. I don't have much nor did I accomplish many thing's I hoped I would, I do wish I could go back and instead of doing what I was told to, like hearing.... Just work hard and you'll make it, that i did and i worked so hard from a very early age just to make other people money but the one thing i do pride myself with is i always treat people like I want to be treated, kindly, with respect. I help anyone I can even though I don't have much. I've had 10$ to my name and gave half away to someone who needed it more then myself. Probably why I'll never be rich lol. I do prey, not as much as I should I guess some go unanswered but I always say please help all other's who need it more then I do first and alot of people do need help then myself. Although I didn't accomplish alot in life so far or make a bunch of money, I know that I have a huge heart and care about all living things. I really hope I'm judged not by how much money I have or made or what all I accomplished but instead by the person I am. That and my kid's is what keep me going. I also believe that we all have souls and even a small electric current in us that when we die it's more then just nothingness. This may sound wrong but if I known that there was no judgment after death I maybe would have done thing's differently, nothing cruel but definitely would have made more $$$ and alot of people believe that is why the Bible was fabricated, just to mold people into being better people but I really hope there is more, something to look forward to after all this, The older I get the quicker time seems to fly by, like I'm running out of time to accomplish many thing's for myself and my kid's, and other's that it badly depresses me alot but thinking that this is just a blink of a eye compared to a eternity of happiness in Heaven makes it a whole lot easier to deal with. So I really hope you are wrong my friend.

Hey Mr Franzese, I spent the first years out of school in South Africa as a movie reviewer. You are easily the best movie reviewer I have ever seen. You are an incredibly gifted orator, you never um or uh or pause… it’s incredible. Congrats on your success and mindset.

I believe in one of her interviews his wife said that she always thought that her husband was a coward who took out his feelings of inadequacy on the family until she saw his hands cuffed behind his back fighting off three cops when they were arresting him because they touched her.

I think once he got arrested and his life was over and his family gone, he was angry and just thought, "You want the boogie man. I'll give you the boogie man", and just kept making crazy stuff up to mess with the police. He was obviously a killer. But, the insane number of victims and stories I really think were just him fucking with authorities for fun.

If you added up the death count reported in bios and on Wikipedia, 857,000 people a year would have been murdered in New York alone.... Even MF has said, where/who are all these dead people? There is no way Kuklinski or Scarpa killed over 100 people each... Just didn't happen.

In his book he also claimed to have killed Hoffa by stabbing him in the head with a Bowie knife and drove his body back to NJ to get crushed up in the trunk of a car and shipped overseas. He also claimed that he was one of the shooters in the Castellano/Billotti murders. If that was true, and it most certainly was not, they would have found "Iceman" in the trunk of his own car within a week of his involvement of either thing to get rid of a very expendable outsider loose end. His body count grew the longer he was in jail and had time to "reminisce". Kind of like how Henry Hill "remembered" more stories of an already wildly exaggerated life. But they both got some entertaining films made of their lives. One an absolute classic.

@@Paddy.C Ha, I forgot about that one. Well, when the mob needed someone whacked, they called the best of the best. "Iceman" had a special line in his house just for those secret missions. 10 mill a head and he worked for everyone. Wonder if The Outfit contracted him out for any hits and how many shots he fired from the grassy knoll.

I was never in "the life", but one thing on the side of Kuklinski's truthfulness: Kuklinski didn't have a job and yet managed to have a middle class life in a decent area. I've never heard a peep about Kuklinski having a job or a legitimate business. Solo serial killer is not a job that pays. That Kuklinski was able to finance his life tells me that *someone* was paying him

He worked at a trucking company when he was married to his first wife. He met his second wife there. From the 60's through the 70s he worked at a photo lab. He used that job to bootleg Disney movies and porn. It was very lucrative. He and a few men committed burglaries and thefts. None were connected to the mafia. He killed five people. Three to rip off and two to silence. From his victims he stole 95k, 27k and 25k. By comparison a brand new Lincoln Town Car went for 14k in 1984. Just prior to his arrest he had declared bankruptcy listing 160k in debt with 1k in assets. He was broke. He didn't even own the house he lived in.
