MovieJustice (Dan DeVore)
In Cold Blood may be the greatest film that takes a stab at trying to understand the criminal mind and how it works. It is a harsh thing to look in the eye and one of those undesired subjects that people would like to turn their back to. Truman Capote...read the complete In Cold Blood (1967) review at MovieJustice (Dan DeVore)

The hardest thing about watching In Cold Blood is not the voilence of the crime or even the crime itself; although the 1959 murder of the Cutters of Kanssess was particually callous.
The hardest thing is the detachment of the killers both before and ...

Truman Capote captures the deviant, unintelligent minds of these criminals. The black and white adds to the stark bleakness and plain lives of the people in Kansas. A great movie with a strong story-line, no abusive language or nudity. ...

I remember when I first saw this in the Theater and how it terrified me. When it came out on DVD I just had to have it. This is a real horrific film it gave me the same "feeling" of Dread and Doom of Hitchocks "Psycho". It is the perfect example of the ...

I have been wanting this movie, and was very pleased to find it. It is a must have to go with the movie "Capote" This true crime, black and white movie is well made for the time in which it was made, Robert Blake did a great job. I was very please in the ...

Robert Blake is magnificent (there's a word I rarely use) as Perry Smith in this classic rendition of IN COLD BLOOD. While his murderous acts, along w/ partner Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), are as reprehensible as they are senseless, I found myself ...

Based on Truman Capote's masterpiece of a book by the same name.
Bone chilling. Nightmare-inducing. ...

The film begins on a cold day. A bus goes on the highway ...
by Betty L. Dravis "... on September 24, 2007
I've always been fascinated with this true story of a notorious cold-blooded crime, so decided to order the new movie version from Netflix.
Surprise! I got the original movie version filmed in 1967, starring a young Robert Blake and Scott Wilson as the ...
by John Farr "The Be... on June 27, 2007
Based on the best-selling exposé by Truman Capote, which told the story of the real-life November 15, 1959, slaying, Brooks's gritty, realistic docudrama offers an unflinching look at the perpetrators of a nonsensically horrific crime. Scott Wilson ...
