Jean Reno, whose reputation will only suffer the slightest ding after this lackluster outing quickly fades from memory, should ponder and deliberate a little harder the next time he’s asked to play an aging hitman.

What are critics saying?
Overall, Cold Blood just falls flat. Secrets should be shocking, unpredictable, and strongly impact the story. Here they’re predictable and lacks cleverness in discovering everyone’s true identities and motives.
RogerEbert.com by Brian Tallerico
I thought of one of Roger Ebert’s most famous quotes while watching Cold Blood: “No good film is too long and no bad movie is short enough.” I think he’d understand what I mean when I say that Cold Blood feels like the longest movie of the year.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
If Petitjean’s dialogue is problematic, its delivery is no less so: at times, the discord between a character’s words and lip movements suggests that some line readings had to be dubbed.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
Well-shot (by Luc Besson regular Thierry Arbogast) but otherwise entirely forgettable.
Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
Cold Blood is well-made but hard to warm to — although it might satisfy nostalgic Reno fans, eager to see him playing a silent, hulking assassin yet again.
Bad movies are indigenous to summer, but rarely have I ever seen one as bad as Cold Blood.
I’m still a big fan of the actor, not much of a fan of Cold Blood.
