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.

Decent movie but cancel culture decided to tank the movie for his commentary on race.

Too long. Too dumb. Too old (Liam). Too pointless. Too bad.

I thought it was a dumb movie. There is nothing funny. Liam Neeson's other movies are better.

3.5 stars; You can't spell Avenge Action Movie without Liam Neeson. I especially like the 'One man against the Machine' type. While Liam is not a character actor, I felt he gave some depth to his character.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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

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

Rated: 3.5/5

Keith & the Movies

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

M.N. Miller

Ready Steady Cut

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

Rated: 3/5

Next Best Picture

What is most surprising is just how much dark humor is layered throughout this entire film, and it helps the film keep being quite engaging.

Rated: 7/10
