Review of Cold Comes the Night (2013) by Panta O — 02 Apr 2014
Surprisingly interesting and watchable crime thriller directed by Tze Chun, who co-wrote the script with Oz Perkins and Nick Simon. The film stars Alice Eve, Bryan Cranston, Logan Marshall-Green, Ursula Parker and Leo Fitzpatrick, and that wasn't bad casting.
A story of Chloe, a motel owner and a single mother living with her daughter Sophia was somehow familiar but still kept my interest until the end! When Topo, half blind man arrives in her motel traveling cross country with his associate John, there is a trouble! John spots a prostitute, Gwen, and they spend few hours together... of course, they get into an argument and John shoots her, waking Chloe up. She goes to investigate to find Gwen and John dead. But, that is not the end of the story!
This film is the second feature collaboration between director Tze Chun and producer Mynette Louie; their previous film Children of Invention premiered at Sundance in 2009. As I said, it was interesting and I even enjoyed some of the improbable screenplay solutions. Perfect for a cold nights with a big screen TV!
