*MYSTERY/SUSPENSE* How
can a split-second decision change your life? While investigating noises in his
house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of
a low-life burglar, Freddy Russell. Although he's hailed as a small-town hero,
Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family's safety when Freddy's ex-con
father, Ben, rolls into town; hell-bent on revenge. However, not all is as it
seems. Shortly after Dane kills the home intruder, his life begins to unravel
into a dark underworld of corruption and violence. Twists and turns
continue to pile up as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a
gore-soaked dead end. Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to
his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled
"badasses" portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Directed with an
excellent eye for the visual poetry of noir, this pulpy, southern-fried mystery
is a throwback to an older breed of action films; one where every punch and
shotgun blast opens up both physical and spiritual wounds. Cold in July is hard
to shake as an east Texas summer.

Excellent! Manufacturing just fifty grams of meth in China will earn you a
death sentence, and Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) has manufactured tons of it. After a
violent lab accident, he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei), and
now he has only one chance to avoid execution: turn informant and help Zhang's
undercover team take down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for. But as the
uneasy allies are forced to compress months of police work into just 72
sleepless hours, the increasingly desperate police are quickly stretched past
their limits. As things spin wildly out of control, the line between duty and
recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear whether the cop or the criminal
truly has the upper hand.
