- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreI’m still a big fan of the actor, not much of a fan of Cold Blood.
- 40Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayCold Blood is well-made but hard to warm to — although it might satisfy nostalgic Reno fans, eager to see him playing a silent, hulking assassin yet again.
- 40Film ThreatAlan NgFilm ThreatAlan NgOverall, Cold Blood just falls flat. Secrets should be shocking, unpredictable, and strongly impact the story. Here they’re predictable and lacks cleverness in discovering everyone’s true identities and motives.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisIf Petitjean’s dialogue is problematic, its delivery is no less so: at times, the discord between a character’s words and lip movements suggests that some line readings had to be dubbed.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerWell-shot (by Luc Besson regular Thierry Arbogast) but otherwise entirely forgettable.
- 12RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoI thought of one of Roger Ebert’s most famous quotes while watching Cold Blood: “No good film is too long and no bad movie is short enough.” I think he’d understand what I mean when I say that Cold Blood feels like the longest movie of the year.
