Movie Reviews of In Cold Blood
Movie Review: No Turning Back...
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Blake is magnificent (there's a word I rarely use) as Perry Smith in this classic rendition of IN COLD BLOOD. While his murderous acts, along w/ partner Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), are as reprehensible as they are senseless, I found myself captivated by Perry and his fate. Blake brings a child-like quality to this killer that makes him more difficult to hate, and impossible to dismiss. Now, I felt for the victims even more in that they were totally innocent prey. This poor family was annihilated for no reason other than greed and blind rage. Still, Perry Smith is one of those monsters made in the crucible of life-long pain and pointless existence. Did he deserve to pay the highest price for his crimes? Certainly. Is his past an excuse for his actions? Not at all. However, I did find Blake's portrayal to be surprisingly moving. Smith's last few minutes are unforgettable...
Summary of In Cold Blood
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/22/2007 Run time: 134 minutes Rating: RTruman Capote's extraordinary nonfiction book about the course of two killers in this world--their lives, their senseless slaughter of an entire family, their executions--was faithfully adapted for the screen in this 1967 film by Richard Brooks (Deadline USA, The Blackboard Jungle). Robert Blake and Scott Wilson are remarkable as the murderers, but what has kept this film special over the decades is Brooks's blunt, clearheaded, and nonsensational approach to the story. (The term "semidocumentary" has been applied to Brooks's style on this film, and it's an entirely fair description.) The experience of watching In Cold Blood is naturally unsettling, but the director--as with Capote--leaves final judgments about justice to the beholder. --Tom Keogh
