What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite strong performances from Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve, Cold Comes the Night is undone by a series of illogical plot twists.

Wendy Ide Times (UK) This low-budget nail-biter is not particularly accomplished or effective, but it is redeemed somewhat by the two central performances. Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Alonso Duralde What the Flick?! Cranston's accent is Dick-Van-Dyke-in-Mary-Poppins-bad. Jan 13, 2014 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com "Cold Comes the Night" provides Eve with an opportunity to showcase yet another side of her talent. Rated: 2/4 Jan 10, 2014 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A generous throwback to those cinematic days when even familiar tales could be told with enough verve to initiate excitement and delight. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Amon Warmann CineVue The film's quality of the acting is not matched by more adventurous material. Without its two lead stars, Cold Comes the Night would be little more than a glorified DTV also-ran. Rated: 2/5 Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Austin Trunick Under the Radar Cranston has plenty of menace left over following the end of Breaking Bad, and his fans will forgive the distracting Polish accent he keeps up through the film. Rated: 6/10 Aug 18, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Hans O How can you lock an animal (turtle) in such a small cage? Simply cruel! 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review CT Y I was starting to get into this movie when Leo Fitzpatrick showed up. 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Antony P Good movie keeps you guessing what will happen next you never know Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Wildwitch T I didn't know what to expect - but this story was much more twisted than I expected! The acting was also excellent! This could actually happen to an innocent person. I have NO idea why there are so many poor reviews. I was highly entertained and surprised! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Jay S I love this movie, Cranston and Eve played exceptionally. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
