I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

TAUGHT IN COLD BLOOD is a serial killer cheapie suffering from the usual budgetary constraints but otherwise doing fairly well with the mildly interesting premise. It's quite well made, well shot, and well acted, not by the standards of a proper movie, but for the micro-budget sub-genre that it has a place in. The conflicted lead character has a measure of depth which is quite unusual and there isn't gore for gore's sake here. I appreciated the psychological angle of the proceedings although the latter romantic stuff is less interesting.
