DVD Reviews of In Cold Blood
DVD Review: Brilliance of Truman Capote
Summary: 5 Stars
Truman Capote captures the deviant, unintelligent minds of these criminals. The black and white adds to the stark bleakness and plain lives of the people in Kansas. A great movie with a strong story-line, no abusive language or nudity. DVD Review: Haunting True Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember when I first saw this in the Theater and how it terrified me. When it came out on DVD I just had to have it. This is a real horrific film it gave me the same "feeling" of Dread and Doom of Hitchocks "Psycho". It is the perfect example of the horror you dont see on the screen is more intense than your own imiganiation can think up. There is litteraly visually, no in your face gore... You hear the sound of ripping tape, crying, then a gun shot, a knife gleeming as a head is pulled back, the bloody foot print, and sounds of violence... After the movie is over you feel that you actually did see killings, the slicing,the gunshot splatter, but because of its Ingeneious Editing, all of it comes from "Your own Ideas" of what you heard and saw.
However the ending does not spare you an "sugestions or any ideas or hints". It is very graffic and gut wrentenching.
DVD Review: Truman Capote
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting this movie, and was very pleased to find it. It is a must have to go with the movie "Capote" This true crime, black and white movie is well made for the time in which it was made, Robert Blake did a great job. I was very please in the service of the seller, I got it in 3 days.DVD Review: 4 stars out of 4
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A searing film that takes full advantage of starkly beautiful cinematography and fine performances by its young actors, In Cold Blood may not always be considered a great film, but it slides nicely up next to them.
DVD 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...
Description 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
