Review of Cold Comes the Night

Some people like this movie, while others have found issues with it. As for me, while I wouldn't call the movie perfect, I found myself interested with what was going on right to the end. Yes, there are some nagging questions that are never answered, like why the central female character didn't put her money in a bank, or why she couldn't find a new place to live when she owned a motel. And there are a few unbelievable decisions by the characters - for example, TWO characters each have a scene when they don't repeatedly hit a person threatening them. But despite these problems, there is a lot to enjoy here. The acting is solid, not just by Bryan Cranston but also the no name supporting cast. The story has some good (and believable) twists and turns, enough that I could not predict what would happen at the end. And the production values are good for what had to be a low budget. The movie is 78 minutes of good entertainment. Yes, I know the running time is 90 minutes. That's because the end credits run a whopping TWELVE MINUTES! Still, you don't have to sit through them, so that's a minor quibble.
