screensport Pretty good movie. Like movies that bring You back to the wonderful 80's. Sam Shepard is good as always. Storyline is ok, I think they build up tention the futher the movie plays. The thing that blew me away was when Michael C Hall sat in his car and "Arms of a stranger" (Originally performed by AOR-band Signal) was played. This time by Aaron Daniel Jacob. That was unexpected....great track! One of my favorites...

phgphg-03679 totally unbelievable , things just don't add up , you kill a man and then your wife is worried about the design on the sofa you just bought to replace bloodied one ? shallow or what ? put the bloodied seat covers out for the binman without wrapping them first ? our binmen wouldn't take them , risk of disease etc ! police leave a drugged man on the rail tracks but fail to wait for the train ?three guys then go on the hunt to find out who done what to who , and then the family guy turns into a pallid sort of clint eastwood when he was supposed to be so shook up about killing an intruder , has he all of a sudden grew some ?the world doesn't work like that !whoever wrote this load of rubbish needs to go back to the drawing board

areatw For a lesser-known thriller, I was impressed by what 'Cold in July' had to offer. The storyline is compelling and unpredictable - you have no idea where it's heading based on what happens in the first few scenes. The plot twists are impossible to predict, with the film going in a completely different direction to what I was expecting.The acting in 'Cold in July' is top-notch, with three terrific lead performances. The film is well written and the plot is generally sound, despite a few gray areas where everything isn't totally clear. The pace is relentless from start to finish, there's never a dull moment and the film builds nicely to a tense finale. Overall, a very good thriller.

bcheng93 totally loved this movie, which is set in the late 80's. it was good to see Don Johnson again and he was awesome in this movie. Michael Hall and Sam Shephard did a hell of a job too.the over-all rating of close to 7 is very fair for this movie, it was an engrossing watch and i didn't want it to end. except for when the VHS tape was playing and i knew what it was gonna be about, the other twists i didn't see coming. i would classify this movie as a modern western, thriller noir with a very good score. if you are not a nit-picker and give this movie a chance then you're going to enjoy a real little gem of a movie. there's so much evil in this world and i totally believe the evil that was perpetrated in this movie. hooray for the vigilantes and men of honor.
