COLD COMES THE NIGHT: 2014: +-:THR: Bryan Cranston from "Breaking Bad" stars in this thriller and has a Russian accent! Is the movie worth watching?
I had some high hopes for this movie and I'm a fan of his show, but overall it was hard to got hot and steamy over it. The acting was decent and the story line started to show promise, but then it became predictable and somewhat derivative at the end.
Alice Eve did a fairly good job with the acting and was on par with Cranston, who as you will imagine acted well. It was definitely odd seeing him in another role than Breaking Bad. This movie has to be important to him because it breaks the mold and could prevent him from being type cast.
In most of the movie, Cranston has the cheesy glasses.
The characters have excellent chemistry and their lines flow fairly well. Above all else, this is one of the redeeming qualities of the movie. I'm starting to become a fan of Alice Eve. There isn't really a jarring part of the movie until you get to the ex-boyfriend, who is crass and very obnoxious as a character. Perhaps that was the intent.
One of the more entertaining parts of the movie.
I enjoyed the parts where Alice drives Cranston and when they first fight. Love at first sight. Actually, Cranston is blind in this movie. That's the reason for the cheesy sun glasses.
I also liked the part when the wife and Alice brawl in the house. Nice use of the bat! Finally, when Cranston wastes all the hit men in the car I began to laugh. When it's a knocking, don't come...well you know.
As bad as he wants to be
Overall the movie had some high marks, particularly with the chemistry between the two leads, but was predictable in the end. There is a twist, but the it's declared in the movie, so it's not really a twist. A movie to watch if you want to see the Breaking Bad lead in another role:77%
