“Cold Road” (*** out of four) was a solidly well-done melodrama set in the remote Canadian North as a woman (Roseanne Supernault) is driving along with her dog to visit her dying mother when she realizes she is slowly being stalked and driven crazy by a stranger in a semi-truck. Ultimately never quite transcends the shadows of Steven Spielberg’s “Duel” which it was obviously inspired by but it maintains its grip from start to finish, thanks to Supernault’s strong performance, beautiful Canadian locations, and stark cinematography from Daniel Everitt-Lock. Bonus- the dog is great!
