Cold Hell

This is no Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia but I find myself watching this movie again and again when I don't know what I want to watch that night. I believe I must have watched it 10 times already and I know that I'll still watch it again. Based on this phenomenon alone, I have raised my rating to 9. The editing is quite good too and the art direction is well planned especially the colours. The main characters are not perfect but they both have guts and a softer, finer side. The more I watch this movie, the more I realize that I'm drawn to the characters' authentic personalities and the chemistry between them. They don't fit the Hollywood "handsome" or "gorgeous" moulds but I find them attractive and charismatic. And what can I say, I just love movies where the women can fight back!

Euro trash I think you're confusing this movie with Hollywood trash good movie suspenseful action good acting directing foreign films I'll take them over Hollywood any day

Positive:

• thrilling and entertaining
• acting performance (roles well selected and played)

Negative:

• too much family drama
• actions partly illogical/incomprehensible

This film was phenomenal! Everything about it was just fantastic. The acting was superb, the cinematography was beautiful, the characters were well-written and multidimensional, and the action and suspense set pieces were masterfully done. Overall a very well done film!

I suspect the more perceptive viewer might suggest that this was not just a good action flick, but a comment on misogyny and prejudice. That aside, I thought this was a decent, gritty drama with a thrilling plot. The villain's sadistic tendencies make him a thoroughly hateful character, whilst the protagonist is flawed but admirable. Recommended.
