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

The Times (UK)

This low-budget nail-biter is not particularly accomplished or effective, but it is redeemed somewhat by the two central performances.

What the Flick?!

Cranston's accent is Dick-Van-Dyke-in-Mary-Poppins-bad.

"Cold Comes the Night" provides Eve with an opportunity to showcase yet another side of her talent.

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

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

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

Hated the pet turtle in a too small plastic cage! The movie was well acted by Eve & Cranston & the plot was full of interesting twists.

How can you lock an animal (turtle) in such a small cage? Simply cruel!

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.

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.

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!
