Critics Consensus

Cold Pursuit delivers the action audiences expect from a Liam Neeson thriller -- along with humor and a sophisticated streak that make this an uncommonly effective remake.

The director seems to take greater delight in laboriously killing off his characters than he does in delivering jokes.

The dark humor that made [the original] really daring, strange, and cool just somehow gets lost here.

3.5/5

It nails its tone as an offbeat black comedy, managing to balance the macabre and the silly.

Cold Pursuit has a quirky sense of humour, especially in the graphics that appear on screen after each evil character is dispatched.

2.5/5

Sometimes it’s a struggle to find the humanity in anyone. And that’s without getting into the ending and the head-scratching loose ends it leaves dangling.

Cold Pursuit’s streaks of brutal cold humor have more bite than your average dark-comedy.

A very uneven mix of violence and comedy, but quirky.

Cold Pursuit (2019) is a story about a father who wants revenge against a criminal who killed his son, but the humor that completely ruined the story fails to deliver anything innovative. Revenge was quite lost throughout the film, I believe the director didn't understand what he wanted to convey.
