Review of Cold Pursuit (2019) by Crazystupidjake — 30 Jul 2019

I had a feeling from the trailer that this would be a little different from your standard Liam Neeson action movie but I was shocked to find how fun and creative this whole thing is. The narrative and tone really set this movie apart from other crime films.

By focusing on such a large cast of characters and putting Neeson’s in the background for the latter half, I found the plot to be largely unpredictable because I had no idea who would be in the next scene.

The dialogue is quick and witty. The violence is bloody and brutal. The whole thing reminded me of a season of the Fargo TV show or something from Martin McDonagh. The unique tone and odd style really sold this movie for me, making for an entertaining ride.
