A review of the film “Cold Pursuit”
A 2019 film starring Liam Neeson as a character seeking revenge for the death of his son – sounds like something along the well-trodden path of the “Taken” franchise (2008-2014), right? Well, no. This is actually a remake of a Norwegian film “In Order Of Disappearance” (2014) with the same director, Hans Petter Moland.It’s a thriller as a kind of black comedy, but I didn’t find it either thrilling or comedic. Leeson is wasted in the role of a snowplough driver called Nels Coxman (in the original the character was named Nils Dickman) and Laura Dern is massively underutilised as his wife.
