Cold in July
CrimeDramaThriller109 min
In small-town Texas in 1989, Richard Dane is a husband and father who shoots an intruder during a nighttime break-in and is suddenly treated like a local hero. Michael C. Hall is Dane, rattled by the killing even before the dead man’s ex-con father, Ben Russell (Sam Shepard), starts circling his family. What begins as a revenge standoff widens when a private investigator played by Don Johnson takes an interest in the case, pushing Richard into a mess of lies, missing pieces, and VHS-era brutality.
