“Cold Pursuit” (*1/2 out of four) was a muddled and boring action melodrama about a snowplower (Liam Neeson) who seeks revenge against drug dealers who he thinks murdered his son but finds that the path to the truth leads to a government conspiracy (led by Tom Bateman) and inter-political fractions involving an American Indian drug cartel (led by Tom Jackson). By-the-numbers story of underworld conspiracies and coverups is too dull to become involved in. Neeson could play this role in his sleep by now (and often is) and he’s in the movie surprisingly briefly. William Forsythe provides film’s only style as Neeson’s brother. This was a remake of the 2014 Norwegian thriller “In Order Of Disappearance”
