Chun 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. Read full review

Cranston takes small bites of this Beef Jerky Tartar script and chews, chews chews — savoring every corny fake-Russian line like the voice actor he was before “Breaking Bad” made him a star. Read full review

Twists pile as high as corpses before an overcooked ending sends things spiraling into silliness. Read full review

As the screws turn, and the double crosses begin, the film sinks under the weight of its own ridiculousness. (The ever-reliable Cranston’s thick Euro-villain accent actually turns out to be one of the least ludicrous elements.) Read full review

While the actor lends his formidable presence to the proceedings, this rote thriller mainly succeeds in squandering his talents. Read full review

Michael Nordine

Jan 7, 2014

Most of the film's major happenings are either illogical or, much more damningly, not especially thrilling. Read full review

Tomas Hachard

Tze Chun's film exudes no flair in rehashing the violence and suspense of its predictable noir-thriller material. Read full review

Though entertaining, "Cold Comes the Night" is ultimately forgettable, an afterthought, overly ambitious and failing to make the most of a talented cast.
