The Weekly Movie Watch Volume 11

This week I watched Cold in July, The Frozen Ground.

I watch movies every week and then write down my thoughts. Read my previous reviews!
My rating is simple, Watch It, It Depends, Skip it.

Cold in July (2014)
Watch Cold in July
Written by: Nick Damici, Jim Mickle, Joe R. Lansdale (based on the novel by)
Directed by: Jim Mickle
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, 
Rated: R

Plot:
After shooting an intruder in his home, a man must protect his family from the ex-con, revenge seeking father of the recently deceased.

Review:
Neat film I never heard about. The story is kind of a weird, but unique. Don Johnson steals the show as always. Michael C. Hall was hard to buy in his part. It's a slow burn that pulls a few punches. Great setting, and the score is the best part. If you think about it too hard after the credits roll, you'll come up with a few plot holes and contrivances.
It depends.

Another film I hadn't heard about. It's not bad, though fairly standard. Cusack was good. Strong ending, with the fact it's based on true story
