In meeting in Kansas, ex-cons Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are breaking several conditions of their respective paroles. The meeting, initiated by Dick, is to plan and eventually carry out a robbery based on information he had received from a fellow inmate about $10,000 cash being locked in a hidden safe in the home of the farming Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas. After the robbery, they plan on going to Mexico permanently to elude capture by the police. Each brings a necessary personality to the partnership to carry out the plan, Dick who is the brash manipulator, Perry the outwardly more sensitive but unrealistic dreamer with a violent streak under the surface. Perry literally carries all his dreams in a large box he takes with him wherever he goes. The robbery does not go according to plan in any respect, the pair who ultimately hogtie and execute all four members of the Clutter family, only coming away from the home with $43 in cash. As Perry and Dick go on the run, a murder investigation ensues, led by Topeka based Detective Alvin Dewey. If Dewey and his team are able eventually to identify the pair as the murderers and capture them, they, if they understand the two, may get their much needed confessions in dividing and conquering. Perry and Dick's fates may also be regardless of who literally pulled the trigger.
Leave your thoughts about In Cold Blood.
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereA sociological crime drama that plays like a noose tightening around all our necks. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBrooks' great achievement in the film is to portray Smith and Hickock as the unexceptional, dim-witted, morally adrift losers they were. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Josef BraunChief among the film's distinctions are the beautiful gloom of Conrad Hall's monochromatic cinematography... There are the fearless, wonderfully contrasting performances by Robert Blake and Scott Wilson as the sociopathic killers. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabIt's both a "true crime" movie and a poetic account of two young men who, by committing an act of unspeakable brutality, unleash the furies against themselves. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseOne of the most creditable true-crime films ever made. [Blu-ray] |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] Screenwriter-director Richard Brooks's faithful adaptation of Truman Capote's innovative 1966 "non-fiction novel," about a 1959 multiple homicide in Holcomb, Kansas, transcends the sensationalist source material. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...worth catching both for its inherent qualities and as a snapshot of Hollywood in transition. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA probing, sensitive, tasteful, balanced and suspenseful documentary-drama. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzTroubling tabloid headline story that already got the full art treatment from Capote. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerAn uneasy mixture of facile Freudianism and 40s expressionism. |
