 The gangster genre is experiencing a lull in cinema, with ideas lacking and a failure to offer sociological reflection.

 Some formal brilliance, a cast that manages to stay afloat, and little else.

Ariel Vromen's The Iceman attempts to tell the chilling story of contract killer Richard Kuklinski set within the classic New York mafia wars. Despite refined cinematography and a strong lead performance by Michael Shannon, the film suffers from a weak screenplay, lack of character depth, and unrealistic family dynamics. The gangster genre feels repetitive and uninspired here, with the movie failing to bring fresh sociological insights or emotional engagement. The result is a technically proficient but ultimately bland thriller. Discover the real story behind the infamous killer and see if The Iceman breaks new ground or just blends in with more gangster films.

 Star Trek Beyond is a cold product, a somewhat rough construction aimed at just entertaining a rather lazy and inattentive audience.
