Cold Pursuit | Ratings & Reviews

"Liam Neeson gives his usual man-out-for-revenge role a darkly comedic twist in this thriller, playing a humble snow plough driver who seeks to murder the drug dealers he thinks killed his son."

Flicks, Tony StampFlicks

"By pumping up the darkly comedic undertones, augmenting the frigid chill of the original, Moland's terrific, riveting picture distinguishes itself from other rote remakes."

VarietyVariety

"Neeson’s knees hold up in an oddball thriller that’s more interested in smirks than smashing things to smithereens."

Total FilmTotal Film

"The thirst for revenge, in movies as in life, almost necessarily involves the dehumanisation of its target. And if the movie itself is best taken as a joke, it's a very bad dad joke."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"[Neeson] does them well, but his performances often outstrip his conveyances of late."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"Cold Pursuit isn't without its charms. Emmy Rossum's (TV's Shameless) enthusiastic rookie cop is a hoot, there's a touching scene involving a snow plough catalogue as bedtime reading and a killer one-liner uttered by a flustered luxury hotel receptionist."

StuffStuff

"It's this straight comedic approach that's key to making Cold Pursuit such fun - vicious, barbaric fun."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"Offers ample violence but is not another post-Taken piece of grim vigilante wish-fulfillment."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"...easily the best thing Liam Neeson has starred in since Taken, maybe even better."

FilmInkFilmInk

"Most revenge thrillers have an element of the absurd inherent in the nameless thugs who get mowed down. Cold Pursuit just has the bravado to lean into the absurdity."
