Storyline

- TriviaIn early 2017, the film was refused a permit to shoot in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. The explanation given was that Parks Canada objected to the antagonist of the film being an aboriginal Canadian. Even the actor playing the role, popular aboriginal Canadian Tom Jackson, could not sway the government agency's opinion, and the production was moved out of the park.
- GoofsWhen Kyle is kidnapped by Viking's men, he is shot up with heroin in the buttock, where there are no veins making the drug rather ineffective. In addition, Kyle's death was dismissed as a typical overdose, but even a small-town coroner should have noticed that Kyle had no needle tracks in the typical locations actual users shoot up into (like the veins in the arms) and should have noticed the single needle mark in his backside.
However, like most states the coroner is an elected official, essentially it can be anyone over 18, not a felon and be registered to vote and depending on the county may not even have the skills to adequately hold the office. In Colorado a forensic pathologist is required to perform autopsies if the coroner requires one and is not a forensic pathologist themselves. An assumed drug overdose is likely to skip the expense.
- Quotes
Nels Coxman: I'm gonna kill him, Brock.
Brock: Hm. Sure you are. What makes you think you can kill a man?
Nels Coxman: I've killed three of his guys.
Brock: What did you do with the bodies?
Nels Coxman: Wrapped them in chicken wire, threw them on the gorge.
Brock: Chicken wire?
Nels Coxman: Yeah, to let the fish get at them. They'll eat the flesh off the bones. So the bodies don't fill with gas and rise. They stay at the bottom.
Brock: Where j'you learn that?
Nels Coxman: I read it in a crime novel.
- Crazy creditsThis film has no opening credits, except for the title itself. All throughout the entire film, immediately after a character is killed, the screen cuts to black, and the character's name, and nickname, is displayed.

So I am recommending Cold Pursuit with the warning that if you are expecting a recycled "Taken" or "Non-Stop" you will be surprised. Hopefully pleasantly surprised.
