sol1218 ****SPOILERS**** A young blond and strikingly, as well as Aryan, handsome looking Rutger Hauer is Cris who's a man on the run in the movie as he tries to escape from his captors after being shot by them. Cris later takes off With his now new girlfriend, the guy doesn't have any trouble getting any, Corina who's house in the country he tried to escape to but ended up getting shot and badly wounded by his pursuers. Cris who's a former Luftwaffe, air force, pilot in the in the West German air corps was recruited by this gang of drug smugglers lead by Himmel,no relations to Heinrich Himmler,to smuggle drugs across the North Sea from Germany to Sweden. Finally wanting out Cris double crossed his partners by taking off with one million dollars of drug profits on is final drug run. It's in Cris secretly hiding the money that kept him from being murdered by his fellow drug smugglers.On the run for his life with the beautiful Corina at his side Cris who escaped again by knifing Himmel from behind while he was tied up in the back seat in his car soon ends up at his friend Frank's place in the woods. It's there where Himmel's men Arthur & Stazi recapture him for the third time, butterfingers, and then threaten to murder his girl Corina if he doesn't tell them where he hid the money with Cris knowing that if he does he's a dead man. So so man on the run flick with the drop dead gorgeous Vera Tschechowa as Corina keeping us men folks interested in watching as the handsome Hauer does for the ladies. ***SPOILERS*** What's been keeping both Cris & Corina alive is his knowledge where the missing million is hidden. With that in mind both Arthur & Stazi, who we later find out is an escaped lunatic from a local mental asylum, try to get Cris to talk. Cris for his part has other ideas and uses them to trick his two captors into him escaping in a nearby lake dressed in a scuba diving wet suit. But the biggest surprise that's saved for last is who's really behind all this murder and mayhem. Who screws himself up in when he has the chance, with Cris finally getting his hands on the hidden million, to finally finish off the pesky Cris lets him live! All that so he can get his two cents in by giving his long awaited speech, which no one but him is really interested in, that gave Cris all the time that he needed to finally finish him off!

Hitchcoc Rutger Hauer. Handsome face. Athleltic. European. Ice cold emotions. That's about it. This is just another of those movies that doesn't showcase any real skill. It's about a pilot for hire who decides to take the illegal money from those who hired him and run with it. Unfortunately, it's really easy to find him and they do. He uses all sorts of ploys to avoid these guys and they seem to work. He takes some beatings, faces death a few times, hooks up with a beautiful woman who helps him along the way. The question is "Where is the money?" That's his trump card. It goes on and on and what is a relatively short film seems much longer. There is much grunting and pretty bad dubbing, and an anti-climactic finish. There is a little star power here, but it's not worth much.

56DeSoto Finally, after much hard work and searching, I found a Rutger Hauer movie that is worse than Beyond Justice (which co-starred Omar Sharif and Elliot Gould!). Had to dig deep, but this confused film takes the cake. It's dated, not just by the fluffy hairstyles and constant cigarette puffing, but also by the unfortunate synthesizer soundtrack. The plot, what there is of it, is hard to follow and none of the characters are particularly likable. The dubbing is distracting. The film comes across as muddy on many levels, though some of that may be due to the iffy DVD transfer. So why 3 stars? Because it has Rutger Hauer and I'll watch anything he's in. But that doesn't mean I'll watch it twice...

vincentga Hum, I don't know if Rutger Hauer "good" role was only in Blade Runner movie, but in Cold Blood, like many other movie, his role is boring.Like the movie of course. The only thing I find funny about "Cold Blood" was people in this movie smoke a lot. And in today movie people stop smoke.But yesterday like today people continue to drink (like it's not a problem too).Like I say if you want really appreciate the acting of Rutger Hauer rent or buy "Blade Runner". But the Original version and not the stupid "Director's Cut" version. The version where at end we see "Rick Deckard" (Harrison Ford) and "Rachel" (Sean Young)in car on the highway and where we hear all during the movie the voice of Harrison Ford in "background".Concerning "Cold Blood" it's really a bad movie. And I give it 1/10. Like often in many movie, the story have no sense. Acting are bad. Music is bad. Technical is old and not good.If you are insomniac well it can be good to buy this movie. Cause you are sure to sleep in each day and fast if you put the DVD in the reader each night.
