fredgfinklemeyer 07/07/2018 Not an overly exciting movie, but still worth your time to watch. I definitely enjoyed it and can recommend it to all. All of Bryan Cranston's dialog was with that fake Russian accent (why?/so unnecessary) which always hurts a movie but his acting, like the lead female actress Alice Eve, was as professional as we always hope to see. Not a 10 star movie, but just a few stars below. Watch for yourself and then you can help decide its fate. Bon Appetit

Ed-Shullivan Mrs. Shullivan and I were in the mood for a crime thriller genre film and so we popped in Bryan Cranston's starring role in Cold Comes the Night. Cranston plays a Russian courier named Topo who is gradually going blind and he in the middle of a road trip which has him couriering one million dollars to his Russian mobster boss. As his sight is near gone he requires someone to drive the car couriering the Russian mobs cash and his driver just can't be trusted as we discover.His co-star is Alice Eve who plays a single mom named Chloe working as a motel night desk clerk in a seedy part of town strewn with ladies of the night who prefer to rent her motel rooms by the hour rather than by the night. Now Chloe has received an ultimatum by a case worker from Child Services that she needs to move her daughter to a more suitable living environment than hooker haven or Child Services will swoop in an take Chloe's daughter away from her.So Topo and his brother-in-law dupe of a chauffeur played by Robin Lord Taylor (more widely known as Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, on the hit 2014 TV series Gotham) make an over night stop over at Chloe's motel, rent separate rooms for the night, and then this thriller evolves....well sort of anyway.I can't say that Bryan Cranston was right on character as the blind Russian mobster since his Russian dialect was as believable as maybe a Jimmy Fallon's Russian impersonation. Of course you have a corrupt cop named Billy Banks played by Logan Marshall-Green who is supposed to add some hype and action to this crime thriller but I thought his acting was way over the top. (Also a personal observation, what makes so many actors/actresses use a stage name comprised of both their divorced parents surnames as a way of commemorating both parents and think we will remember them? This is a pet peeve of mine. Hey actors/actresses, choose one surname or another and get over yourself.)Without giving away too much of the movies plot (as there is not a lot of meat on this bone) Topo's cash goes missing and he will stop at nothing to find the scammers who have left him holding an empty bag that he must now otherwise report back to his Russian mob boss unless he recovers his stolen million dollars.A two for one rating: Mrs. Shullivan gave the film a 4 out of 10 and since I am a sucker for crime thriller genres and have seen literally thousands of them I give it a slightly higher 6 out of 10 rating. It is worth a late night watch if you are having difficulty sleeping. If you are a crime thriller genre junkie as I am, I don't think you will be able to go to bed without finding out first how the film ends. It's not so great but does have a "so/so" story line to keep you hooked until the final two words are illuminated..."THE END".

LeonLouisRicci Compact and Chilling, this Neo-Noir is Pure in its Pursuit to Make this a Violent Crime Movie Involving Regular Folks like a Struggling Single Mom and a Lowly Ranked Russian Mobster that is Aging and Going Blind.The Acting is Fine from Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve but the Movie Sinks Somewhat Whenever Logan-Marshall Greene is on the Screen with His Shouting and Frothing at the Mouth Overacting. He Literally is Laughable at Times in a Critical Hard-Boiled Role. The Direction is Semi-Stylish and the Mood is All Underplayed (except for Greene) and it Moves Along with a Pulpy Fiction that is Engrossing, its got some Pop, and is Quite Suspenseful.

kosmasp Bryan Cranston plays someone with an accent and it really works. We knew he is a good actor (especially those who've seen Breaking Bad), but him playing with that foreign accent is setting him apart from previous roles. I don't know if it was in the script or if he decided to go that way, but whatever the case is, it was genius.Alice Eve as mother standing tall against what is happening to her (from all sides that is), plays it really good. A nice thriller that has many ups and very few downs during the running time. It might be predictable, but that doesn't take away the fun you can have while watching it. Nice thriller with great performances and some graphic violence
