Cold Open

About This Movie

Cold Open is an interesting blend of action and comedy, where you have this hitman named Peter, who’s really struggling with his identity. The film has a nice balance of dark humor and moments of genuine introspection. You can feel the weight of Peter’s choices throughout, which gives it a unique tone. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, especially when it shifts between high-stakes scenes and his comedic aspirations, but it sort of works in its own quirky way. Practical effects are used effectively in the action sequences, which gives it a raw, almost gritty feel. I found the performances to be engaging, especially the lead, who brings a certain charm even amidst the chaos of his life.
