She'll need them when Cranston's Topo stops in for a few hours of sleep. A veteran drug and cash mule, Topo is en route to the Canadian border with his squirrelly nephew and a duffel bag full of money to deliver. Because here's the deal: He's nearly blind, so he needs someone to drive him to assignments and help guide him to perpetuate the ruse that he's still fully functioning. This is actually a fascinating idea for a character: What DO you do with your life when you get too old and feeble for the crime business? It's also, unfortunately, an underdeveloped idea.
Topo proves he's still dangerous, though, even if his accent is unintentionally giggle-inducing. Maybe he was supposed to be funny—who knows? Either way, he seems out of place. We never get a firm grasp on who he is, so the Slavic background comes off as a superfluous (and distracting) affectation.Things go horribly wrong, as they are wont to do in films like "Cold Comes the Night," and Chloe must use her local connections to help Topo recover his loot. "Let us play the I Spy, huh?" he asks young Sophia, who sits in the back seat of Chloe's station wagon while Mommy tries to break into an impounded Jeep.
