BadNews R First off — let’s talk about the title. Cold Comes the Night is a very awkward and weird title for a movie. It doesn’t immediately connect you to the premise, and right from the start I was left wondering: what exactly are we doing here? That being said, Bryan Cranston does a good job with what he’s given. His performance is solid, and he brings weight to the film. But overall, the movie itself is just… okay. It’s not great, it’s not memorable, and it’s certainly not something I’ll be jumping up and down to recommend. Honestly, I had never even heard of it until now. The director does what they can to try and captivate the audience through this suspenseful setup about unmarked bills, greed, and survival. The core of the story is interesting: a woman pulled into this dangerous mess while trying to protect herself and her daughter. That scorned mother angle could have been powerful, but the execution doesn’t land as hard as it should. The biggest problem is that the film doesn’t lean into enough action. It never really shifts into that action-packed gear where the tension pays off. Instead, it’s weighed down by dialogue-heavy sequences that stall the momentum. The script definitely needed more battles, more stakes, and more back-and-forth intensity between the characters. Without it, the film feels flat and ultimately forgettable. Verdict: Watchable once for Bryan Cranston’s performance, but not something I’d ever revisit. A thriller that aimed for suspense but ended up too quiet for its own good.

The movie was well acted by Eve & Cranston & the plot was full of interesting twists.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Jordan W It’s thrilling to watch Bryan Cranston be a hitman with a silly Russian accent alongside an emotional powerhouse performance in Alice Eve as Logan Green-Marshall overacts the hell out of his monstrous character. The plot is sort of ridiculous and overwrought but it’s a genuinely gripping little thriller that consistently keeps itself engaging.

After a grimacing 5 minutes of him doing something he thinks was acting I had to turn it off. The guy has no idea how to act. It was like watch a child pretending to be somebody but worse because the kid really can fantasize. Not Fitzpatrick. I just wonder how the hell he got this or any role. Really too bad.
