In Cold Blood | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

This odd sense of detachment marks Richard Brooks film out from the pack. That and Blakes wide-eyed and anxious performance, which really takes the viewer through a gamut of emotions.

A film that grips right from the beginning with its noirish visuals and unmistakable sense of menace.

In the end, one is left, not with a work of art, not with a document but with a cliché. It is an inadequate monument, even to a pair of stupid criminals.

There's a pitiable desperation in their meandering spree of destruction, as if they're perpetually lost in an escalating hell of their own making.

In Cold Blood is a somber, slablike, all-of-a-piece inclemency that bears little resemblance to the open, cheap-knit style of Capote's writing.
