Review of Cold Pursuit (2019) by Thescort — 27 Nov 2019

Turned off within the first 10-15 minutes; so take this review with a pinch of salt.

Bad acting and a bad script were the things that made me bail out on this one - the former when [supposedly] doting parents are identifying their Son's body - not a shred of the emotions one would associate with such a horrific event. Playing Devil's advocate though - this could be explained away as shock.... but you are REALLY clutching at straws with that one!

Second, within the same scene, was the complete refusal by the coroner/Police office to believe that the son hadn't died from anything other than an overdose - despite protests from the aforementioned emotionless parents; that their son didn't do drugs! Surely, a medical examiner would have at least checked that statement, and looked for multiple injections sites on the body?

With this calibre of acting and script writing, I wasn't prepared to put myself through the remaining 90 minutes - which is a shame, as I think Liam Neesom is a fantastic actor, albeit a bit pigeon holed for roles akin to Taken.
