Cold Hell - Brucerai all'inferno

After witnessing a brutal murder, a woman finds herself targeted by a misogynistic serial killer who uses his religion as an excuse to butcher women. 'Cold Hell (2017)' is a gritty neo-noir thriller clearly inspired by works such as 'Taxi Driver (1976)', especially in its bluesy score. It's downbeat and gritty, though it does have moments of levity sprinkled throughout, and it deals with some tough subject matter in a compelling way. The lead character is especially stoic but you're always on her side, even when she makes some questionable decisions, and her dark past is revealed to us slowly but surely over the course of the narrative. Her typically unspoken backstory gives good reason for her to be as guarded as she is, adding a layer of subtext to the closed-off performance by a consistently good, if not flashy, Violetta Schurawlow. There are several well-choreographed fights and chases that have an appropriate amount of weight to them, with the violence typically being brutal and crunchy. It gets you on the edge of your seat on more than one occasion. Often, you can't help but get a little giddy, I suppose, when the protagonist is bashing a bad guy's head in; it's not fun violence, don't get me wrong, but it's good to see the often battered lead finally get her own back. One thing that is good about the piece is the fact that the hero knows how to handle herself right from the off, yet is still fallible to the same mistakes anyone would make if being hunted by a monstrous killer. Just because she knows how to fight doesn't mean she isn't scared of the concept of someone trying to end her life. It's a fine-tuned dynamic that undeniably adds believability to the plot. The picture, of course, isn't perfect. It is rather slow and, even, somewhat repetitive in its mid-section, almost becoming a different type of film to what you'd expect. This isn't too detrimental, since the thing is always entertaining and engaging, but it does lose a little bit of steam before it picks up the pace again for its final act. Still, the flick is effective overall. It's a solid thriller that easily keeps you watching from beginning to end. 7/10.

Ozge, a young Turkish born taxi driver, who is also a Thai boxer. She keeps to herself mostly. One day she witnesses a murder and also the one who is responsible for it. The events that takes place after this is the basic plot of the movie.

The movies main positive is the lead actress violetta schurawlow. She is just amazing. We can see the anger, fear, intensity, just everything in her performance. You can just watch this movie for her performance. The action sequences were really good, especially the one in the metro train. The cinematography, the sound design and all the other aspects were good. The writing was really good in some places, the thrilling elements worked really nicely. I loved the sequences towards the climax very much.

The only issue i had with the movie is, i felt we could have spent a little more time with the character before the inciting incident. Rather we get to know the character more after the inciting incident, which makes the movie little slow in few places.

The movie is a solid one time watch. Give it a try if you love action thriller movies.

Positive:

• thrilling and entertaining
• acting performance (roles well selected and played)

Negative:

• too much family drama
• actions partly illogical/incomprehensible

And I mean that in the nicest sense possible. Really I do! Of course if you feel that is an insult, you probably don't like movies like that. Sleazy thrillers, made a couple of decades ago. They were very successful and had charm to them. Very comparable to this one, which has flaws in many departments and you could argue that the characters are not all around likable (especially the police man who gets drawn into the center of it all).

Still this is very empowering to women, even when it doesn't look like it at the beginning. There's still nudity and action and gore and all that. But there's also a lot of humor in it. Of course not everyone will find the same things funny, but the movie does not take prisoners and goes some extra miles ... even when introducing characters and giving us a "father-figure" who almost feels out of place in this. So again, it is messy and it is far from perfect ... but that is what makes it so enticing.

Euro trash I think you're confusing this movie with Hollywood trash good movie suspenseful action good acting directing foreign films I'll take them over Hollywood any day
