Cold In July (2014)

A family man accidentally kills a thief caught in the act, and the event takes him down unexpected paths.

'Cold In July' is a thriller that does not follow the expected steps of the genre. It starts almost mundane and predictable, but things change in an extremel way long before the halfway point of the film. Well made and well carried by a trio of interestingly chosen actors, with Sam Shepard in one of the last captivating roles before leaving this world too early.

Director:  Jim Mickle   

With: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw

Rating: 8.4/10

Cold In July (2014)

Un tata de familie ucide accidental un hot prins in flagrant, si evenimentul il duce pe cai neasteptate.

'Cold In July' este un thriller ce nu urmeaza pasii asteptati ai genului. Incepe aproape banal si predictibil, dar lucrurile se schimba extrem cu mult inainte de jumatatea filmului. Bine facut si dus in spate de un trio de actori interesant alesi, cu Sam Shepard intr-unul din ultimele roluri mai captivante inainte de a ne parasi.

Regia:  Jim Mickle   

Cu: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw
