Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Liam Neeson goes back into action as a small-town man pushed to the breaking point by a drug cartel. Nels Coxman has a good life. He keeps the roads plowed for a small but wealthy resort town in the Rocky Mountains. The mayor even awarded him “Citizen of the Year.” Then his son dies of a heroin overdose–except he's never done a drug in his life. Coxman is convinced his kid was murdered by a drug gang — so he targets the pushers.
This remake of the blackly comic 2014 Norwegian thriller In Order of Disappearance was tailor-made for Neeson. The original film seemed like precisely the sort of film the star would make, so his leading role in Cold Pursuit almost seems like destiny. Action. Dark comedy. A series of wildly escalating events that all ends in killing? Sounds like a great time.

“Cold Pursuit” might have all the trappings of those junky late-era Liam Neeson movies where the aging Irish actor murders a small army of people like some kind of AARP-eligible Rambo, but Hans Petter Moland’s mordantly hilarious comic thriller doesn’t wait long to defile…
davidehrlichFeb 7, 2019Honestly this is better than it has any right to be. It turns out it's a black comedy. Upbeat music plays when he disposes of bodies, there's a title card everytime someone dies, the villain spends more time worrying about his kids diet than his actual crime ring,…
Buddy OMay 1, 2019Seems to think that a winking ironic distance from all this violence serves as some sort of critique -- of masculinity in crisis, of cathartic vengeance, of the sort of movie where Liam Neeson stomps around killing dudes. I ask you, even if that were true, let alone…

A strictly average dark comedy revenge thriller that is good in parts. Liam does what he does. The movie holds a few cool sequences and some effective laughs to offer. But that is about it.
Michael JamesMay 9, 2019Bizarre dark fun.
sofyanDec 21, 2024I’m convinced if there was a multiverse, every version of Liam Neeson would do a revenge for their family at least once in their lifetimes.

In light of Liam Neeson’s recent politically incorrect gaffe, it follows suit that Cold Pursuit while visually literate is racially stupid. Having seen director Hans Petter Moland’s original Norwegian adaptation In Order of Disappearance, I was intrigued to see how…
Steve LovecraftFeb 7, 201976 Like the weird lovechild between John Wick and Fargo had been placed in a foster home with Taken. This is so, so much better than it has any right to be- I half expected it to fill the standard mid-winter slot where generic Liam Neeson action thrillers tend to go, but…

Cold Pursuit is a darkly comedic action thriller that sees Liam Neeson once again take on the role of a vengeful everyman, but this time with a distinct blend of grim humor and stylized violence. Directed by Hans Petter Moland, a remake of his own 2014 Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance, the…
Victoria likedCold Pursuitwas actually a really entertaining watch. definitely a lot of bloodshed but the film felt paced really well and it had a pretty satisfying ending. i also really liked how they showed the names of the actors and their characters after each death. felt creative
Andrew Allred dislikedCold PursuitWhen it started out I thought it would be a fun Liam Neeson revenge thriller. However it ended up being a wacky unorganized mess that felt way overstuffed. You applaud its effort to stand out but this one didn’t work for me.

Do not waste your time!!
CRCaleb Rappaportlike Fargo but funnier and cooler. Must see!
CRConstance RaglinNot very good. No character development, silly really. The original was so much better. I enjoy Liam Neeson but this wasn't his best performance.

Phenomenal satire. Go see it now. Mel Brooks would be proud.
JPJulieAnn PassmoreAction and comedy with a touch of bitter sweetness. Best film I’ve seen in years.
JBJasmine BarsemaTried to be an action movie but wasn’t. Basically saw what was coming the whole time

To be fair, Cold Pursuit is rarely boring. You’re never particularly invested, but its shrill unpredictability is like a circus performance. It’s impressive the sheer amount of calories being burned despite the lack of believable characters or compelling situations.

I didn’t hate “Cold Pursuit,” but it’s not the giddy darker-than-dark murder-comedy that “In Order of Disappearance” was, and that this film’s trailers (Memorably choreographed to “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” a MUCH better title, BTW) promised.

The script has a wry sense of humor but is almost never laugh-out-loud funny, and the gory substance of the plot regularly overwhelms the delicate notes of parody.
