Coldblooded

I saw this late at night on channel 4 and initially thought it wasn't much... but for some reason didn't end up turning the TV off and became hooked on it. There's something delightfully perverse in the watching of the breakdown (or perhaps release) of his personality as he's left with no choice but to become colder and colder. The ending caught me by surprise but I suppose that's only because I was hoping for more - plus it ended before the story had any time to drag on and thus (and I'm guessing others) left me in the midst of the flow still, which was a good feeling.

Like many of you here, when I saw that Jason Priestly was played the main character I had little hope of enjoying this film (even though I am a closet fan of the first season or two of 90210). I was more than pleasantly surprised when not only was the movie GREAT!!!, but Jason Priestly nailed his performance (and of course the rest of the supporting cast as well. I loved the subtle humor. I loved everything about this movie. This is not spoiler, so I am not going to elaborate. Do yourself a favor, if you can find this movie, rent it. If you like movies like Pulp fiction (as I do), you will love this movie. I just can't believe more people don't know about this movie. I stumbled into here because I found that I couldn't rent this from Netflix so I have decided to buy if from Amazon.com. My wife will soon be a fan of this movie too. It sucks I am going to have to dust off the VCR to watch it though.

I started watching this movie about 10 minutes into it, and I had to see it to the end. Lovely story, great acting, with some truly original scenes. Jason may seem a bit helpless, but that's just clever acting/directing. I'm happy to see that I'm not alone in appreciating this movie. The only thing i can fault this movie for, is casting a teen idol in a grownup movie. But that doesn't diminish the movie in itself. (In that respect it's similar to "17 again", which I also enjoyed a lot.) The fact that I saw it on TV just now (2010) goes to show that this movie has staying power. Brilliant stuff.

This is the film that goes all the way to prove that understatement is often more amusing than anything else. Lacking slapstick, funny "characters" and too predictable situations it wanders along its own path and lets us go along. If we want. If we don't, that's okay but we'll miss the fun. Jason Priestly portrays a slacker who finds a calling. He also discovers Yoga and the teacher of same. Peter Riegert gives the sliest performance as the "instructor" for Priestly who quickly discovers that sometimes instinct needs no teaching. There is a delusional casualness to the lives and actions of all involved but this underscores the simplistic plot that relies on character and performance rather than stultified situations. (Garofalo must be the most dis-interested prostitute on screen.) But it all works. One hopes this will over time get a DVD and more exposure. A cult favourite in the making.

I saw a trailer for this movie on an old video, and it intrigued me. I came to IMDB right away to see if it's good, and having the approval I needed, I started my quest to find it. Luckily there's a video store in my town that has a lot of the older movies and never throws them out. As for the movie, I thought it was great. Cosmo is so emotionless that his hits are actually funny. And I loved the relationship between him and the hooker in the retirement home. This is a truely great movie, and it makes me kinda angry that hardly anyone will see it. If you get a chance, RENT THIS MOVIE 9/10

This is a movie I think you could say is in the same category as the classic Pulp Fiction. Where can you see a guy going around killing people in cold blood seemingly without any reason, if not in these two films. I really liked the way Jason Priestley plays his character, from a innocent, retarded kid to a cold-blooded assassin. I must say it seemed as a B-movie in the beginning, but as the movie went on, it only got better and better. Something else that was fun is Michael J. Fox's appearance in the movie. Great scene. A must see!
