everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I started watching this movie about 10 minutes into it, and I had to see it to the end. Lovely story, great acting, with some truly original scenes. Jason may seem a bit helpless, but that's just clever acting/directing.I'm happy to see that I'm not alone in appreciating this movie. The only thing i can fault this movie for, is casting a teen idol in a grownup movie. But that doesn't diminish the movie in itself. (In that respect it's similar to "17 again", which I also enjoyed a lot.)The fact that I saw it on TV just now (2010) goes to show that this movie has staying power. Brilliant stuff.

This is one of those films that i catch by accident on TV while eating a dinner, and that immediately raise my eyebrows, set up a big question-mark above my head, make me forget about how good dinner i cooked, and instead make me immediately look up the title on IMDb while first set of commercials is on.First i see a face from sugary Beverly Hills in a _very_ different role, and he seems to be a hit-man (i didn't see the beginning of the movie), but he goes to yoga classes, and he seems to be at once simple and honest (and a virgin), and a successful professional killer, and the movie seems to somehow balance the opposites quite skillfully. Really, i can still feel my eyebrows up there where they were for the most of the movie.I laughed hard in few places, but like with best films, those funniest scenes had absolutely nothing obviously funny in them... it's the absurdness of the characters and their situations that makes those so funny.Still, i didn't feel this to be a comedy at all, it's here that saw people call it a dark comedy.Well, it's dark alright, and strangely uncomfortable, but i did laugh hard in some scenes so i guess it qualifies as comedy too.Anyway, if you like quirky off-the-beaten-path films, this is one you won't regret seeing.

Take one very introverted bookmaker and transform him into a highly successful hit-man. Now add an attractive yoga instructor to the mix and you have a talented killer in love. Though he clearly enjoys his work, he has no clue about relationships. This off-beat scenario easily drives "Cold Blooded" into black comedy territory. With sharp dialog, and fine acting from Jason Priestly, Kimberly Williams, Peter Riegert, and Robert Loggia, this is a must see for admirers of dark humor. The clever script is never boring, but is unpredictable and charming in a perverse sort of way. There is no DVD, but I highly recommend seeking out a VHS copy. - MERK

"Coldblooded" is a genuine surprise. It's one of the funniest black comedy's I've seen, and the credit almost entirely belongs to the right-on , deadpan performance of Jason Priestly. Priestly plays Cosmo, an almost catatonic bookie, perfectly happy with is lowlife position, until a "management change" forces his to be "promoted" to hit-man. I say, "almost entirely," because the other great performance in this movie belongs to Peter Riegert, who plays the burned-out hit-man who trains Priestly. Their scenes together are the best in the movie, though there are several brilliant others, such as:WARNING: SPOILERPriestley's conversation with Michael J. Fox and his wife. Priestley's conversation with his girlfriend's ex boyfriend. Priestley's confession to his girlfriend about his occupation. Priestely's final conversation with his girlfriend.None of these scenes could have worked without clever writing and none of them could have worked without Priestley, in an Oscar-worthy performance. This one's playing SUNDANCE in letter-box. Grab it while you can, because who knows when it will make it to DVD.\Priestley's character most certainly was the inspiration for Bruce Willis' "Jimmie the Tulip" in "The Whole Nine Yards". If you liked that movie, you'll most certainly like "Coldblooded".I give "Coldblooded" an "8".I
