Cold Weather

Movie: Cold Weather

Genre: mystery

Synopsis: Doug (Cris Lankenau) is a college dropout.  He had been majoring in forensic science before he quit school.  Now he is living with his sister, Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn) in Portland and working the night shift in an ice factory. Rachel (Robyn Rikoon) is a former girlfriend who pays Doug a visit when she is in town.  When she seems to mysteriously vanish from her motel room, Doug and his sister take it upon themselves to figure out what happened and what became of Rachel.

My two cents: This movie started a little slowly, but picked up steam nicely.  Initially, you are not even sure there is a mystery to be solved.  I had a lot of fun following the two as they came across clues and tried to solve them to get to the next piece of the puzzle.

Bottom line: this is one of those independent gems that will be seen by far too few people.  Don’t pass up a chance to see it.
