Cold Comes The Night

"Cold Comes the Night" provides Eve with an opportunity to showcase yet another side of her talent.

A bland and preposterous thriller in which Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston play unlikely partners in crime.

A tense little thriller that provides juicy roles for its deft lead actors, Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston, as well as some well-played action and several neat twists.

Cold Comes the Night is a serviceable low-budget thriller with a pair of strong lead performances and intermittently suspenseful scenes.

It's hard not to be impatient with a movie as openly lazy as "Cold Comes the Night," which is redeemed only by its performances.

Cranston, in a fake beard and dark glasses, seems to be enjoying his goofy act. Trouble is, this isn't the kind of movie in which goofy earns goodwill.

Cranston has plenty of menace left over following the end of Breaking Bad, and his fans will forgive the distracting Polish accent he keeps up through the film.

The plot and characters all appear to be consequences of a group of writers that just didn't have a single iota of originality among the three of them, and as a result, it's simply not worth your time.

...a better-than-average thriller...

Derails in the end, trying to neatly wrap-up a picture that demands a more sophisticated conclusion, but the basics sustain allure, especially when they're competently performed.

Cranston's accent is Dick-Van-Dyke-in-Mary-Poppins-bad.

The film will leave you positively chilly ... and wishing Eve's talents had been suited by a better movie.
