Cold in July (2014)
This movie was in my top priority watch list for only one reason that is because the lead role in this film was done by my favorite series Dexter fame Michael C. Hall. I must admit it was so cool to see Dex back after so many days of Dexter season closure. Movie is about a Richard ( Michael ) and his small middle class family where they get mixed up in so many things when Richard had to shoot down a burglar entering his home. Though the case gets dropped as Self defense , Richard notices lot of darker secrets behind the mash-up and his life gets in line of danger when the Dead bugler guys father gets released from Jail in parole and stalks Richard for revenge. So things gets worsen from there on ...
First 40 minutes of the movie was pure class , a perfect thriller until Richard saves a old man from railway tracks. Till that point i must admit this movie stayed at its best course especially seeing Michael in a different role who lives life with so much Fear whereas Dexter is totally opposite. But when two old guns join the story things gets a worse turn with unwanted deviations etc. Though the concept was different it felt unrealistic or lag in screenplay giving us a drag feel. Ending was somewhat cool to see Michael transformation and not a bad movie to skip. Definitely a average flick and it will be fun for Dexter fans for sure. happy watching.
