Netflix always springs a surprise or two when the nights draw in. Case in point this week: Instead of festive fun, viewers in the UK – and other regions – are tuning in to Cold Pursuit, an underrated action movie starring Liam Neeson.
Yep, Cold Pursuit is currently #1 on Netflix. Curiously, it’s not hit the top spot in the US just yet – though it was only added to the streaming service just a few weeks ago and has been in the top 10 as recently as last week.The Killeris still numero uno there, but David Fincher’s assassin movie has been bumped into second spot in the UK thanks to Neeson’s frozen thriller.
Grossing only $76 million from a $60 million budget, Cold Pursuit received a 68% critics’ score onRotten Tomatoesand a shade under the ‘fresh’ mark with audiences, currently sitting at 49%.
