Yeah, we've got a thing for Jim Mickle around these parts. That's because he's very, very good with a filmography that dives deep into the seedy underbelly of Americana. that Mickle hasn't really broken through to a mass audience yet is - in my opinion - very much an indictment of that audience and not at all of Mickle's work as he has yet to take anything even remotely approaching a mis-step. All of which is to say that his latest effort - the grimy revenge thriller
Cold In July - is very, very good.
In 1980s East Texas, two fathers pitted against each other in revenge must band together to uncover a darker truth.
