  1. Just finished watching the independent film "Cold in July" and I must say it's one that was a surprise and interesting taking twist and turns to a dark secret that shocks and hurts. Set in rural Texas in 1989 it involves a murder case with Richard Dane(Michael C. Hall)who after being at home with the wife and young son shoots a house intruder who's a supposed ex con. Well the local police says it was the son of a man named Russel(Sam Shepard)only it's soon discovered that this is not Russel's son as his son is still at loose and on the run. How did the local police cover it up did they have their reasons? Perhaps they didn't want the father to know the dark secret about to come. The film develops into a world of violence and twist after turn. Then enter an old and wise sharp Jim Bob(the old classic "Miami Vice" man Don Johnson and it was nice to see him again))this guy is a Texas private eye type who's cool and one to find out things thru investigation and research. So the three head out on an underworld Texas journey of thugs, drugs, and torture sex as they even see a world of snuff stuff. And thru it all a dark secret that's painful and hurtful is found. Overall a well done film that shows life is painful and tough and sometimes secrets are dark and the most hurtful when involving the ones we love.

  2. While the acting in this movie is very good and Sam Shepard's character evolves, there are major plot lines that just get dropped. It reminds me of Charlie's Angels episodes that don't make sense and we're supposed to not worry about that and just think they are cool. Same here.

    The statements I'm about to write could be called "spoilers" but they are not really because they don't matter. The whole middle of movie is about bad cops that tell Michael Hall that he killed Sam Shepard's son even though he really didn't in order to draw Sam Shepard to town so that they can kill him. Do we find out why the cops did that? No. Do the cops get pay back? No. Later, there is a big deal made about the Dixie mafia and what bad asses they are. Do the characters confront or even see the Dixie mafia? No. And the big stated reason why Michael Hall needs to leave his wife and kid to help Sam Shepard is to find out who he really killed. Does he ever find out? No.

    There is a main plot that I have not revealed, so there is something to this movie. But all this other stuff really seemed pointless.

  3. Cold In July marks the fourth and most mature feature for director Jim Mickle, bringing electric performances and palpable suspense to an otherwise unoriginal premise. What sets this film apart from other films like it, such as Cape Fear, is the performances. Michael C. Hall gives one hell of a performance, letting the audience see a vastly different side of him. He generates a leading man quality in this film that, in my opinion, he has never done before. From the straight-out-of-the-80s mullet, to the tight Wrangler jeans, Hall fits the mold of an ordinary man from small town Texas in the 80s and does so very subtly without us ever thinking to ourselves that this man was Dexter. As much as I liked Hall's performance in this film, Sam Shepard and Don Johnson steal the film. Without giving too much away, Shepard and Johnson are two of the seediest dirty characters not in a Rob Zombie film. Each scene between Shepard and Hall generates a palpable tension that would be difficult to do with any other actors in their parts, respectfully. The story is interesting from jump street, its a familiar type of story but it has so many great twists and turns that you can't help but fall in love with it. The score here is also immersing. It rings back to Blood Simple, or John Carpenter's Halloween. It really throws us right into 1989 and does so with such grace that it really needs some attention. Jim Mickle proves here that he is a director to be reckoned with. As a fan of his previous films, Stakeland and We Are What We Are, I was excited to see this film. However, walking out of Cold In July made me ecstatic to see what he does next. Overall, Cold In July is brutal, unrelenting backwoods mayhem with great performances and plot twists galore. It definitely lives up to the hype and I highly recommend it.

  4. This dirty little piece of Texas pulp rides the fine line of art of trash with brilliant composure as its dark script teases you with how far it'll go. The seed is planted when an everyman kills an intruder in his home, and the story spins wildly out of control from there. The story moves forward at a brisk pace and never looks back. Sure that means there are as many holes as there are unanswered questions, but such is the case with pulp. You gotta live in the now, man. In the end, I'm still not sure how to process what I've seen, and I've gained no further insight or knowledge about myself, the world, or humanity. And I wouldn't have it any other way
