The better of the two interview compilations, December 29, 2006
This review is from: The Iceman Interviews (DVD)
The Iceman Interviews is a 45 minute collection of interviews with Richard Kuklinski and uses pretty much all the same footage as another DVD called Confessions of a Mafia Hitman. Although both DVDs are interesting and offer a peek into the mind of a hitman, arguably a serial killer, although he got paid for it at times, this one has a section titled The Iceman and The Psychologist. That makes all the difference.
This 15 minute interview that Richard Kuklinski has with a psychologist is very eye-opening and really delves into how and why Kuklinski would 1. perform these heinous acts, and 2. be able to perform these heinous acts. It's very interesting to see Kuklinski talk about how these actions made him feel, as well as talking about his childhood and the way his father treated him.
If you're at all interested in psychology or the psychology of serial killers and other abnormalities in the human psyche, this section will keep you enthralled. I only wish it were longer.
The rest of the DVD contains footage and interviews that the other DVD contains as well. In these sections Kuklinski talks about how he went about his career as a hitman, and describes different murders that he committed.

An in depth view of a sociopath, March 12, 2007
This review is from: The Iceman Interviews (DVD)
The "Iceman Interviews" contains three interviews of Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski at Trenton Prison, a maximum security prison in NJ. Kuklinski
was a hired hit-man for the Mafia who enjoyed his work and attempted to
elaborate on it. His victims fell prey to cyanide, a crossbow, rats in
a cave and were often random prey as well as Mafia targets. It is the cold
and cool countenance of Kuklinski that makes the tape. He is not upset by
what he has done, describes killing in a matter of fact way and fulfills
all the criteria for the diagnosis "sociopath". It is riveting to watch and offers a view of a type of killer not often seen.

Gripping, September 4, 2006
This review is from: The Iceman Interviews (DVD)
This compilation includes all 3 Iceman interviews. He comes across like a true psychopath except for the tears shed for his family in the first interview. The interview with the FBI psychologist is the most interesting, as is the Iceman's reaction to the prognosis.
