5.0 out of 5 stars Could not possibly have been better., January 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Comfort [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you thought "Fargo" was funny, you MUST see this movie. This is a truly brilliant film with a very dark, very sick sense of humor. Paul Gross is a travelling salesman who wrecks his car in the middle of a stark Manitoba blizzard. Maury Chaykin, an erstwhile tow truck driver, rescues Gross -- then presents Gross to his daughter for her 18th birthday. Gross puts in a stellar performance as the hapless hostage who becomes smitten with Chaykin's daughter. His gradual progression from confident salesman to twitching, terrified victim is a rare treat. Chaykin perfectly complements Gross, bringing a wonderful subtlety to his role as the hair-trigger sociopath. Combine this fantastic acting with a script chock full of sick plot twists and inspired dialogue, and you've got yourself a winner!

3.0 out of 5 stars Stephen King On Line 1. . . ., August 19, 2005

And he says - "you've just stolen the plot for my novel Misery". Really it's a big twist on the basis of Stephen King's Misery. But I love Paul Gross. Anything Paul does is absolutely perfect by nature. So there you have it.

3.0 out of 5 stars so so, February 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Comfort [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie was strange. I can't say it was good and I can't say it was bad. I guess if you like all the deeper meaning stuff it's pretty interesting. The acting was good. Maury Chaykin played insane very well. Although I can't watch this movie at one sitting, it's just a bit draggy.
