The dialogue is hard-bitten and Mamet-sharp. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
The Iceman is a vivid evocation of a remorseless sociopath sustaining a double life as a contract killer and devoted family man. Gritty, gripping and unrelentingly intense, Ariel Vromen’s film boasts richly detailed character work from an ideal cast. - 75
Observer
The point of The Iceman is “Even monsters are human,” but it takes a great actor to make a dubious theme convincing. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Ultimately, this is a grim (both visually and thematically) character study of an unsympathetic character, leaving Shannon, who manages to deliver another impressive performance, twisting in the ice-cold wind. - 60
The Guardian
As a demonstration of the banality of evil, The Iceman is certainly effective and Shannon's performance gives the film its power. - 60
Village Voice
Ultimately The Iceman is a blend of Mafia-film cliché and the jarring reality of lives undone by crime. - 50
