Powerful

i must have seen a different film!!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Take one very introverted bookmaker and transform him into a highly successful hit-man. Now add an attractive yoga instructor to the mix and you have a talented killer in love. Though he clearly enjoys his work, he has no clue about relationships. This off-beat scenario easily drives "Cold Blooded" into black comedy territory. With sharp dialog, and fine acting from Jason Priestly, Kimberly Williams, Peter Riegert, and Robert Loggia, this is a must see for admirers of dark humor. The clever script is never boring, but is unpredictable and charming in a perverse sort of way. There is no DVD, but I highly recommend seeking out a VHS copy. - MERK

Well, to call this one a master piece would probably go a bit to far. But I will call it an unknown gem.I have never before heard about that movie, I'm not even sure if it has been shown in Germany sometime. If it had been on TV I probably wouldn't have watched it because of Priestly (you know that kind of TV-movies made by TV-stars). But I found this one by pure coincidence, kind of wrong CD in the wrong booklet, if ya know what I mean. And when the movie started I was just short of stopping it. But then I decided to give it a chance ... and it struck me with surprise.Cosmo - a guy like a mix of Forrest Gump and Gilbert Grape. That's at least my impression. No emotions at all, as it seems. I think I don't have to tell much about the story, the other ones writing reviews have done this a lot. So there is pretty much to say about the character of Cosmo. When he is - against his will - promoted to his new job. A job he doesn't want to do but - as he pretty fast finds out - he is really good in. First of all there seems no development. He is keen to learn. But still nearly motionless. And speaking of motionless, I pretty much loved the scenes with him sitting next to Jasmin. I don't think, as others, that Pristly was uncomfortable with his role. It was just the way he had to play Cosmo.Final words ... just watch the movie. And just let it happen.

I can't believe this movie doesn't have a higher rating (although 6.6 isn't that bad on IMDB). I'm not a Jason Priestley fant at all, but he is just fantastic in this movie. The story is totally strange, very low-budget it some ways, but it has some great acting by Priestley and Peter Riegert.Although her part is small, Kimberly Williams is also impressive and the bit parts of Michael J. Fox, Talia Balsam (his movie wife, though very short lived, no pun intended), Janeane Garofalo, are also great.Robert Loggia can't be a bad actor in anything, so we don't even have to bring him up. This is my favorite "unknown" movie. It seems few people have seen it and I will buy it the second it comes out on DVD. I catch it on cable every chance I get. Yes, I did rate it a 10!

I watched this film at an obscenely late hour the other night, and it was like a breath of fresh-air. As soon as I saw Jason Priestly, I assumed it would be one of those terrible straight to TV movies that involved a cast of C-list celebrities wondering what on earth they were doing making such rubbish.Not so. As the film progressed I realised, to my utter surprise, that I was actually really enjoying it. The dialogue was funny, the characters interesting and the ending inspired. Priestly was excellent, only ever achieveing such dizzy acting heights in another quirky classic, 'Love and Death on Long Island', and the supporting cast were genuinely talented.It wasn't perfect; it could have been longer, but it definietly had all the assets of a cult movie.
