Cold Pressed

Cold Pressed is a great indie thrill ride!! It's suspenseful and well done, is a bit of a throwback to gangster movies, but what surprised me the most was the setting of the story within an olive oil company. The performances are awesome and the direction is smart and cutting. I really enjoyed this and definitely recommend it to anyone who loves movies, it's fantastic! Bravo.

Cold Pressed is an indie thriller about George Leggierie, the owner of a restaurant and an in-demand olive oil label. George's greed leads him to take a deal for his olive oil with a sinister businessman, unknowingly sinking George into a deal with a very dangerous mob-like underworld.

Cold Pressed is a gritty film that felt like a throwback to gangster thrillers from the past, right down to the 16mm film grain. The film does a great job of showing that any industry can succumb to greed and turn violent if there's enough money being thrown around. I did recall reading in the news about how some companies were busted for using fake extra virgin olive that was supposedly from Italy, so it was interesting to dive into a fictional story that deals with that. I'd also like to note that I was a big fan of Ted Harvey's performance in the lead role. I'd highly recommend Cold Pressed for anyone looking for a good indie thriller!

The world of Italian gangsters in the USA. However, these gangsters aren't running numbers or peddling drugs, but dealing in dodgy olive oil. Quite unexpected. It's just as absorbing as any crime drama, and the lesser known subject matter gives the genre a seriously refreshing twist. Recommended.

I love crime dramas and having this one set in the olive oil and restaurant industry providing a very fresh and fascinating take on the genre. Great story, great direction, great acting!

Watch this film to be absorbed in the not-oft explored word of olive oil production, and its purity or lack thereof. What starts as a twisting curiosity turns into a dark and violent suspense. I must say I felt happy when the main character, played by Ted Harvey, got what he deserved. He was a selfish, cruel man and the performance by Harvey was absolutely committed. The film twisted into territories I didn't expect and I appreciated that. And I really loved the score. Definitely worth a watch!
