Leave your thoughts about Cold Comes the Night.
| indieWireEric KohnChun treats the material with a sophistication that brings its pulpy scenario down to earth. Not even Bryan Cranston with a cheap Slavic accent can stop him. |
| We Got This CoveredIsaac FeldbergA tense and effective modern film-noir, Cold Comes the Night boasts great performances and skillful direction, both of which allow it to succeed as a compelling, compact thriller. |
| IGN MoviesJim VejvodaEven with the likes of Cranston as its main adversary, Cold Comes the Night is pretty humdrum. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyOIt may be too short and a little too convenient, yet it is ultimately a decent thriller that is worth checking out. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickCranston 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. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsThe film could almost pass for an episode of Breaking Bad, but it's redeemed by its moody tone and Eve... who gives her best performance to date. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Jenny McCartneyThe real revelation is Alice Eve, who gives a strikingly direct and affecting portrait of a woman in a desperate situation. Still, after too many pat plot twists and one nauseatingly slow death, I wished the film surrounding her were a little fresher. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineMost of the film's major happenings are either illogical or, much more damningly, not especially thrilling. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen Whitty"Cold Comes the Night" isn't worth a special trip to the theater. But it's definitely a sturdy, at-home pleasure if you're clicking through your video-on-demand options some wintry night. |
| AV ClubJosh ModellThe Breaking Bad star — who looks here not unlike the Heisenberg of last season — can’t buoy material so thin that it would’ve barely supported an episode of "The Killing." |
