Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 10/01/2019
Not only is his use of chemistry gruesomely ingenious, but he finds a convincing and tense way to make two doddering coffin dodgers into memorable screen villains. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 11/16/2011
The ensuing intergenerational clash is a highly volatile mix of The Wages of Fear (1953) and 'torture porn' tropes, with an uncomfortable grounding in political reality. Go to Full Review

Some might appreciate just how many story beats this movie through into its run time, but the result was a conflicted and confusing narrative that didn't know what it wanted to be. Go to Full Review

It's a different sort of horror thriller, but not a better one. Go to Full Review
Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus 04/03/2020
Look, Cold Sweat makes no sense. But it is successful at creating some tense situations and at making its viewers sweat a little themselves. Go to Full Review

07/21/2019 Wasn't a fan of this horror film. Didn't do enough to scare nor gross you out, so it was really tame for such a disturbing premise. The acting also left a lot to be desired. There weren't many positives here. See more 10/16/2016 Save for the beginning, there's not a boring moment in this modern day version of the French The Wages of Fear. Albeit the plot is quite thin, this leaves room for more suspense and plenty of excellently crafted scenes of horror, action and slowmo explosions. See more 06/28/2014 This movie is bonkers! Clever sometimes, idiotic in others. Entertain none the less. It works If you got time to spare. See more 06/15/2014 Cold sweat is a great original horror movie about two old men the kidnap people and use nitroglycerin to kill their victims. The director uses camera moves in slow motion and the way home someone blows up from having the nitroglycerin on them. B (2011) See more 12/14/2013 A new twist on the torture porn genre, Cold Sweat is a tense thriller that draws upon the history of violence in Argentina for its inspiration. An intelligent, brutal, and gripping film, Cold Sweat keeps you on the edge of your seat but never engages its source material in the critically compelling fashion that it could have. Still, it is a stylish, twisted, and original film that will keep fans of smart horror films engaged throughout its run time. See more 08/19/2013 Starts off with some history of stolen dynamite. What's that have to do with internet chatting? Oh... An explosive torture flick with some dark humor. See more Read all reviews
