Cold Pursuit

Well, there is a Boycott and, all I am going to say about that is that, given who it's coming from, they just want Lian Neeson to apologize, so they can refuse to accept it and destroy his career to signal how virtuous and powerful they are by harming others.. The motives are horrible. But, for those among us that are normal, or at least not jumping onto that bandwagon, all I can say is...BEST ENDING EVER!!!! So it's a bit 90s, the actor that did the big bad is not decent, but the twists are all kind of out of left field, and it's fun, for a revenge flick that is written to be sedate, darkly comical, and stylish. And, to think I almost didn't see it because I am sick and tired of Taken. What you get is a fun and entertaining film.

I am not sure why but I had fairly low expectations for this movie. Perhaps partly because revenge flicks really aren't my sub-genre. But I liked Cold Pursuit, seemingly more than many reviewers. I found it to be quite entertaining, with bits of humor, good dialogue and several small plot twists along the way. Plus I have always liked Liam Neeson. There is a child character who comes off looking more wise and savvy than the adults. His short scenes are pleasant interludes between the scenes of drama and violence. Being an action film, I knew not to look for character growth or subtlety in the subplots. I just buckled up and enjoyed the ride.

69/100 The son of a snow plow operator is killed by drug dealers and everyone believes it's a drug overdose except the father. He goes after his son's killers and leaves a trail of ever increasing bodies and destruction behind him that he never counted on. Let me start by saying that this is an excellent film. Liam Neeson and all involved did a wonderful job. That being said, except for some minor variations and a new cast, this is practically a shot-for-shot remake of "In Order of Disappearance" by the same director ...apparently in an attempt to be more approachable for American audiences. But, if you've seen the original, there's no need to see this one. If you haven't seen either, this one will definitely do unless you don't mind subtitles. Then watch the far superior original. - DrNostromo.com
