Nels Coxman's quiet life as a snowplow driver comes crashing down when his beloved son dies under mysterious circumstances. His search for the truth soon becomes a quest for revenge against a psychotic drug lord named Viking and his sleazy henchmen. Transformed from upstanding citizen to cold-blooded vigilante, Coxman unwittingly sets off a chain of events that includes a kidnapping, a series of deadly misunderstandings and a turf war between Viking and a rival boss.

Critics Consensus

Cold Pursuit delivers the action audiences expect from a Liam Neeson thriller -- along with humor and a sophisticated streak that make this an uncommonly effective remake.

The director seems to take greater delight in laboriously killing off his characters than he does in delivering jokes.

The dark humor that made [the original] really daring, strange, and cool just somehow gets lost here.

3.5/5

It nails its tone as an offbeat black comedy, managing to balance the macabre and the silly.

Cold Pursuit has a quirky sense of humour, especially in the graphics that appear on screen after each evil character is dispatched.

2.5/5

Sometimes it’s a struggle to find the humanity in anyone. And that’s without getting into the ending and the head-scratching loose ends it leaves dangling.

3/5

Cold Pursuit’s streaks of brutal cold humor have more bite than your average dark-comedy.

This was dumb as fuck ... I'd probably really enjoy the original but hey even though it was a dumb film it was well funny. I'm not sure if intentionally or not but hey it was great dumb fun

"Taken" mixed with "Fargo" mixed with "The Grey" and apparently directed by post-pulp filmmaker Martin McDonagh. The excess of originality is overwhelming. (Mauro Lanari)

Not great, but also not bad. Every Liam Neeson film for the past 10 years, but this time in snow, with a bit of self awareness about it.

According to the trailer and so many other movies with Liam Neeson, I expected a tough vengeance movie, but thanks to the weird director it is rather a morbid, macabre and very violent comedy. It is surely not for the fainthearted as all the violence is pure and direct, but most of the times it is ridiculed in itself an instant later. The whole movie looks at the dozens of deaths as a mere joke, up to the very, very last second of the movie. I normally don't like blood splattering flicks, but here one leaves satisfied and light headed at the end without really being perturbed by all that blood. Kind of strange how the director manages to take the drama and stench out of all the killings. All that said, one can take it or leave it as it is surely an odd movie. 6/10 points. P.S.: Seeing all that icy environment of winter around Denver gave me the chills, augmented by the air-con in the cinema being way too strong, making me feel to be right there in the middle of the snow.
