Bone Cold

Dreadful. Just dreadful. It started out ok seemed to have a good story but like a skier went downhill fast! As for playing the rolls as a spotter and a sniper not even close to being believable at all. This was a movie you want to enjoy but half way through you know you made the wrong decision but since you've gone this far you might as well stick it out to the end just hoping it takes a turn and surprises you. Nope the only surprise here is that I made the foolish decision to watch till the end and waste my time with this trash. This could have been a pretty good movie in fact I wanted it to be a good movie but the movie just didn't want to cooperate. Keep moving nothing to see here.

This film from the offset told me it wasn't big budget, but what we have here is low budget at its finest.

Ive watched big budget movies that were not even as good as this.

Great actors and editing, the colonel was on point and the 2 man team worked well as it kept you drawn onto them.

Anymore would have been chaos to try and understand the too many multiple characters.

The story puts you on what i can only tell is PTSD,EXPOSURE TO HARSH CONDITIONS,POOR INTEL.

All of which when combined will play tricks on the mind.

8/10 from me and a must watch, ill watch again, pick up the blueray version.

Bone Cold is a 2022 thriller written, edited, produced, and directed by Billy Hanson (Coach Hop Playlist, Lightning Dogs, Survivor Type, and Total Ghostage). An experienced Black Ops sniper Jon Bryant (played by: Jonathan Stoddard from Falling for a Killer and Of the Devil) attempts a nightmarish escape after a failed mission, tracked by enemy soldiers hellbent on revenge, and hunted by something sinister and monstrous, hungry and determined!!!!

Bone Cold is a mix between a thriller and a horror feature. This one isn't as action packed as I hoped. Honestly, most of it is in the trailer. It still has some solid moments but it's more of a character study than anything here if you trying to figure out what sub-genre it fits the best. The lead was decent in Bone Cold, I think he mainly does soap opera and television work for the most part. It has a smaller cast so he definitely carries Bone Cold with his performance. It has some good creature fx, cinematography, and music for this very low budget film. This one definitely feels like a indie production which is nice because lots of features try too hard and it hurts the final product. Bone Cold knows exactly what it is has to do with it's small budget and they use their funding in the right departments. I enjoyed it but I'm not sure if it has great replay value to it. This is worth checking out at least once!!!!

Bone Cold executes its premise flawlessly. It's a character study, written in blood and biting snow. Soldiers are asked to pledge everything for a cause, and the toll is always more than just physical. This movie takes that theme, infuses it with a healthy dose of matinee creature feature, but never loses sight of its poignancy. When you get to the climax, which I will not spoil, everything is placed in sharp relief. Family, loyalty, patriotism, love. Bone Cold is a movie about the things that matter most. As a sidenote, the logistics of filming so much of this movie in the snow-covered forest are quite impressive here. Highly recommend a watch.

Holy @&$! What a complete waste of time!!

Ukraine // Russian border - ok

Secret Ops - ok

Alien Creature - scary as F and very confusing.

The acting is fine but the story line // plot is not-- WTF??? I get the point of the secret operations and that kind of stuff--what we don't understand is the alien creature and how that fits into the narrative- why oh why did the producer include that sub-plot?? We are still scratching our heads-

I will admit that the alien sub-plot held our interest, though. Beware of the creepy alien and the sounds of the forest- not for the faint of heart (or lungs, intestines, or guts)...
