In Cold Blood (1967)
7/10
Based on true story of two criminals who who go to steal from a small farmer's safe, but find no safe end up with only $40, and they murder all four family members. Then they sort of meander around avoiding the police, in and out of Mexico, as we see a couple detectives get some incites on the murders and murderers. Based on a book by Truman Capote.
It's crime drama, bordering and melodrama. I thought it had a rather pokey pace, and it didn't inspire me to want to know who the murderers were or why they did it. The flashback reveals were a bit perplexing, and unsatisfying as explanations for the murders. Robert Blake, and especially Scott Wilson, do a great job acting, it just wasn't exciting or all that interesting.
