Cold Comes the Night. In his first film role since the conclusion of “Breaking Bad,” Bryan Cranston dons a fake beard, dark sunglasses and a Russian accent so cartoonishly thick you’d swear he’s hunting moose and squirrel with Boris and Natasha in “Cold Comes the Night.”.

Move over, Walter White. Here comes Topo, the ruthless criminal played by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston in the Neo-Noir thriller Cold Comes the Night, which opens in theaters and VOD on January 10.
The premise of this film, written and directed by Tze Chun, is sadly more intriguing than its execution. The story revolves around single mom Chloe (Star Trek Into Darkness' Alice Eve) who runs a seedy motel in rural upstate New York. Social services are giving her grief for raising her young daughter Sophia (Ursula Parker) in a motel where hookers and drug users are the regular clientele. But it's not like Chloe has the means to just uproot herself and her daughter and start anew elsewhere. That is until Topo comes to stay at her motel.
Topo is a Slavic criminal who's gradually going blind. That makes him vulnerable … to a degree. He's still as deadly as any other trapped animal. Topo is a courier on his way to Montreal with his ne'er-do-well nephew Quincy (Robin Taylor) to deliver some loot to the crime boss they work for. But after a murder happens at the motel, Topo's vehicle (hidden inside of which is the parcel of loot he's delivering) is impounded by the cops and he finds himself stranded at Chloe's place.
Topo coerces Chloe into serving as his eyes by taking her and the unsuspecting Sophia hostage. He needs her help if he's going to retrieve and deliver the loot to his boss or otherwise get whacked. Chloe, no wilting flower, agrees to help him -- for a price, which is pretty ballsy seeing as how most people would opt not to bargain with a gunman.
The idea of a criminal going blind and a struggling single mom who's not as innocent as she seems should have been fraught with tension and drama, but Cold Comes the Night leaves the viewer, well, cold despite the presence of an awesome lead like Bryan Cranston.
