IN COLD BLOOD is the powerful, true story of a callous murder, based upon the best-selling novel by Truman Capote. A prosperous and respected Kansas farmer, his wife and his two teenage children are wantonly and brutally slaughtered. The murderers are two mindless ex-convict drifters: Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson). Neither of the men are sane enough to regret their crime. The story penetrates the inner workings of the criminals minds as it follows their purposeless meandering through Mexico and the United States in evasion of the law. After more than a year of wandering, the hunted men are finally caught, tried and in a dramatic conclusion condemned to hang.

Critics Consensus: In Cold Blood is a classic docudrama with a fictional thriller's grip -- and a pair of terrific lead performances from Robert Blake and Scott Wilson.

Yasser Medina

Brooks, with a close look at documentary and the common elements of police drama, processes the meticulous reconstruction of a homicide. [Full review in Spanish]

In Cold Blood, designed to disturb, reassures, designed to bewilder, dots every i (and uses a hammer to do it).

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.
