Rating: 4.5/5 --
Hall's bleak vision, his gift for working with darkness and rain, rivals classic film noir of the 1940s and '50s in its visual mastery.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Like another great crime story rooted in truth, Dead Man Walking, it refuses to depersonalize the victims or elide their suffering

Rating: 3/5 --
Visually striking, with two astonishing lead performances, but it never quite plumbs the emotional depths of the Truman Capote source material.

Rating: 5/5 --
It's both a "true crime" movie and a poetic account of two young men who, by committing an act of unspeakable brutality, unleash the furies against themselves.

Independent (UK)
The movie seems perfunctory, as if Brooks did not really direct it, but only organized it.

The New York Review of Books
[I]t’s unlike anything else coming out of Hollywood at the time -- at once a throwback to the best American movies of the 1950s and on the cutting edge of what was happening and what was about to happen in world cinema.
A.V. Club
Chief among the film's distinctions are the beautiful gloom of Conrad Hall's monochromatic cinematography... There are the fearless, wonderfully contrasting performances by Robert Blake and Scott Wilson as the sociopathic killers.

Product Description:
IN COLD BLOOD is Richard Brooks' stylish and powerful 1967 drama adapted from Truman Capote's novel about a shocking real-life murder case. This daring cinematic portrait employs flashbacks to fully examine what drives an individual to commit thoughtless and brutal crimes, while using a highly innovative jazz score by Quincy Jones to capture the moody atmosphere. Capote's own role as researcher-narrator of the young criminals' intense friendship, fantasies, and troubled lives is effectively brought to the screen in this striking, groundbreaking drama.
Two aimless drifters, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), target the home of Kansas businessman Herbert Clutter. After breaking into the house, they find no money, and Smith and Hickock brutally kill the entire Clutter family. They escape the scene of the crime and head for Mexico, but they eventually go back to the States, ultimately returning to Kansas. After being chased for almost a year, the troubled drifters are captured and sentenced to death.
