COLD IN JULY Review

Cold in July is not only an intensely gripping and taut thriller, but also proves to be director Jim Mickle’s most astute and assured feature to date. Although the premise and setup lay the film out as a typical revenge thriller, Cold in July takes some very quick turns, resulting in intrigue and mystery around every corner. With some great performances, including a standout role from Don Johnson, and a fantastic score from Jeff Grace, this is the type of pulp crime drama I simply can’t get enough of.
