My Movie Review: The movie is like a glass served with dry ice you have to put some water to drink up you have to be patient wait for it cool on and when its cold enjoy quenching your thirst! Cold Pursuit is darkly comic thriller that has unusual style and patterns to follow yet still can caught you by surprise when you lease expected and when its raw you can feel the moment! The ruthless uncanny execution reminds me of film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri when you see action after action happen spontaneously so you don't have much time to think! That's the magic of this movies you will be caught in the moment somehow you learn without noticing it becomes part of your thinking at the end of the day you feel smarter and forgot what happen the next day as I'll watch the trailer the fragments I remember becomes whole again! For what its worth this remake exemplifies smart witty storytelling delivered with such humour and sophistication that showcase talent and skill in kicking ass of one action star Liam Neeson!
Movie News: In outline, you probably think you’ve seen Cold Pursuit already. Liam Neeson-takes-down-well-dressed-drug-dealers-to-avenge-the-death-of-his-son is a hackneyed premise that felt tired in 2009. But Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland’s remake of his own 2015 thriller In Order Of Disappearance hits all the beats of Neeson revenge thriller. Big Liam shoots a baddie with a sawn-off sniper rifle in a bridal shop, splattering the white dresses in blood but also has an interest in character quirks and jet- black whimsy that separates it from the pack. It doesn’t all work as in second half but it has terrific fun with crime genre staples in a Grosse Pointe Blank-y kind of way. As the Norwegian original, Moland chalks up the deaths with title card showing the name of the dead and cutesy graphic. The violence flits from darkly comic to eye-watering brutal but doesn’t break the spell or drama. Typically taciturn turn from Neeson is surrounded by colorful cast, gallows humour, its complete disrespect for cinematic stereotypes!
