Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A bland and preposterous thriller in which Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston play unlikely partners in crime.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Fresh
A tense little thriller that provides juicy roles for its deft lead actors, Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston, as well as some well-played action and several neat twists.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Cold Comes the Night is a serviceable low-budget thriller with a pair of strong lead performances and intermittently suspenseful scenes.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
It's hard not to be impatient with a movie as openly lazy as "Cold Comes the Night," which is redeemed only by its performances.
