Cold Pursuit's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
'Cold Pursuit' moves forward with the assured and deliberate force of Nels' massive snowplow. And with Neeson/Nels at the wheel, 'Cold Pursuit' is one fantastically hot mess of a movie.
Indiewire
'Cold Pursuit' resolves as a riotously fun example of a director remaking their own film for the right reasons.
Entertainment Weekly
It knows exactly what kind of movie it is, but that doesn't stand in the way of it goosing its bloodbath set pieces with irreverent, off-kilter gallows humor.
Variety
By pumping up the darkly comedic undertones, augmenting the frigid chill of the original, Moland's terrific, riveting noir-tinged picture distinguishes itself from other rote, reductive remakes.
The A.V. Club
One thing that does translate is Morland's extremely dry, extremely dark sense of humor, which manifests at the bleakest moments of the story like whoopee cushions lining the pews at a funeral.
The Playlist
Flaws and all, 'Cold Pursuit' is a gleefully violent good time. Moland's movie is silly but sharp, with barbs drawing blood despite a story that we've seen before.
The Hollywood Reporter
The action never stops being fun, and it eventually does make excellent use of the heavy machinery Niels' job requires. 'Cold Pursuit' gets a little winded, like a 66-year-old action hero working hard at high altitudes.
Screen Daily
It doesn't particularly succeed as a thriller, but the film's gleeful perversity at refusing to satisfy genre conventions gives it a scruffy integrity all the same.
The Wrap
While the film may fall short of its goals, it's hard not to admire the film's ambitions even as its flaws start piling up.
