Featured reviews
I was expecting a movie similar to Neeson's "Taken". "Cold Pursuit" was much better. In fact, Neeson was really one of the ensemble actors in the movie. Anyway, Cold Pursuit was really a dark comedy more than a thriller. The film reminded me in a good way of Fargo. It wasn't quite as good as Fargo but it had a similar feel to it. I'm sure this is not the first review to make that observation.
So I am recommending Cold Pursuit with the warning that if you are expecting a recycled "Taken" or "Non-Stop" you will be surprised. Hopefully pleasantly surprised.

Loved this film for what it was...pure action with a side of dark humor. Highly recommend for genuine entertainment. (On a side note: For those boycotting film for something Liam said in interviews please remember the old saying.."people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.")
In a snow drenched ski town in Colorado. Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson) a snow plough driver's world is disintegrating after his son dies of a suspected drug overdose.
When Nels discovers that his son was murdered, he goes after revenge against the drug gang who were involved in his son's death. Nels manages to orchestrate a gang war.
Cold Pursuit is a remake of the Norwegian film, In Order Of Disappearance. It is better than Neeson's recent action fare since he hit unexpected bullseye in Taken.
The movie has hard action in a bleak snowy landscape. It also has a lot of black humour making it rather quirky and offbeat.
Some thought has gone into the movie and the characters. As if the makers were deconstructing Neeson's other revenge thrillers and playing around with the tropes.

Cole Pursuit is a competent but inferior facsimile of a Scandinavian film In Order of Disappearance.
Like most copies of original works, something is lost in the translation. For me its much of the dark, often ironic humour, found in the original film that's conveyed with a very matter of fact quality. A cultural nuance I've found in other Nordic productions.
Suffice to say Cold Pursuit is not bad as such, its simply not as well rendered as the original.
My advice watch Cold Pursuit by all means, it is entertaining but then take a look at In Order of Disappearance too and see if you don't agree with me. 6/10.

Did you know
- TriviaIn early 2017, the film was refused a permit to shoot in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. The explanation given was that Parks Canada objected to the antagonist of the film being an aboriginal Canadian. Even the actor playing the role, popular aboriginal Canadian Tom Jackson, could not sway the government agency's opinion, and the production was moved out of the park.
- GoofsWhen Kyle is kidnapped by Viking's men, he is shot up with heroin in the buttock, where there are no veins making the drug rather ineffective. In addition, Kyle's death was dismissed as a typical overdose, but even a small-town coroner should have noticed that Kyle had no needle tracks in the typical locations actual users shoot up into (like the veins in the arms) and should have noticed the single needle mark in his backside.
However, like most states the coroner is an elected official, essentially it can be anyone over 18, not a felon and be registered to vote and depending on the county may not even have the skills to adequately hold the office. In Colorado a forensic pathologist is required to perform autopsies if the coroner requires one and is not a forensic pathologist themselves. An assumed drug overdose is likely to skip the expense.
- Quotes
Nels Coxman: I'm gonna kill him, Brock.
Brock: Hm. Sure you are. What makes you think you can kill a man?
Nels Coxman: I've killed three of his guys.
Brock: What did you do with the bodies?
Nels Coxman: Wrapped them in chicken wire, threw them on the gorge.
Brock: Chicken wire?
Nels Coxman: Yeah, to let the fish get at them. They'll eat the flesh off the bones. So the bodies don't fill with gas and rise. They stay at the bottom.
Brock: Where j'you learn that?
Nels Coxman: I read it in a crime novel.
- Crazy creditsThis film has no opening credits, except for the title itself. All throughout the entire film, immediately after a character is killed, the screen cuts to black, and the character's name, and nickname, is displayed.
