Stretch plays Ronnie, a hitman who, three years prior, vouched for his pal and fellow contract killer, August, played by Michael Rapaport (Zebrahead, Mighty Aphrodite). Unfortunately for Ronnie, over the years, August has gotten himself into some trouble and made a few enemies. Now, over the course of one day, Ronnie has to somehow clean up all of August's messes or both men will be facing the consequences of their unhappy bosses. In addition to Frank Whaley and Seymour Cassel, the supporting cast boasts a bevy of 1980s artifacts including Ralph Macchio, Robin Givens, Deborah Harry, and Ally Sheedy. A Cold Day in August screened at Robert De Niro's 2003 Tribeca Film Festival under the title A Good Night to Die. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
A great movie to miss.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
The minor pleasures of A Good Night to Die are offset by its familiarity.

Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com
Singer has a nice knack for mixing quirkiness with violence, but hasn't yet mastered how to pull it all together.
