Why has Jean Reno taken this part, its an awful movie, linear plot, poor script and poor acting
Reno and Lind do their best to carry this but even they struggle, please someone cine up with a script and a cast to suit Reno's talents, something on the level of Leon or even 22 Bullets would be better than this, I can only think that it lost something in the Editing

What I liked the most was the wooden house in the mountains. Jean Reno was cool.
The story is nothing special. I expected some more credits at the end but it was executed poorly. If you have really not other films to watch give it a try. Just don't take everything seriously. 6/10.

Beautiful winter landscapes, at the edge of an isolated lake in the great North American. Here are the positives! Otherwise: the dialogues are ridiculous, the ending is predictable, the script is pathetically not credible and was obviously written with a hangover. What a boring movie that will probably disappear from the movie theaters within one week, two at most. So if you want to waste 90 minutes, hurry up!

My first review but I had to, Reno did his part very good and scenes with him are great but, there is no ending which was very disappointing having good story not having conclusion. And other characters were developing good until last quarter than they all become pointless. Wasting of time
The tundra was stunning, but the story lacked any answers. Very disappointed with the script and ending. 2 hrs of my life I will never get back.

Acting and the dialogs are good , not better just good. its watchable , the sounds are ok, the story is relatable and the entire 1.5 hour is not wasted. So you can give it a try

I picked this movie because of Jean Reno, but disappointed. Not sure why this movie is even made, when the screenplay is so bad. Maybe there was no screenplay.

Jean Re-snow ... no wait, I mean Reno. I don't even know if this is a pun or just me being silly. Very likely it is the latter. Anyway, Jean Reno can do no wrong. When it comes to his acting - watching him in this rather mediocre, but still decent thriller reminds me, that I should rewatch Leon again.
This has a twisted story ... though not completely unpredictable one. I may be putting it mildly and safely to be honest. There are contracts that seem more valuable than others - be it with the city/goverment (holding an official position) or with someone else.
It may take its sweet time to get where it is supposed to (now that was a pun - I can attest to that), but if you stick with it, you can have a decent thriller at your service - which might also be a pun.

Henry (Jean Reno) is a hitman who lives in the snowy Washington wilderness. We see his last hit when he takes out Mr. Kessler in a steam room. A young girl, Melody (Sarah Lind) has a snowmobile accident. Henry finds her and takes her in and cares for her wounds even though he knows she should go to a hospital. Henry is suspicious and he keeps asking her what was she doing on that snowmobile and where was she going. In his line of work he needs to be that way as he never knows who is coming after him. See?
The photography and cinematography are outstanding. Yes, this is slow going but you want it to go slow as you see Henry take charge and is still figuring things out. Hey, you will, too..
Sheriff Kappa (Joe Anderson) is intrigued with Kessler's murder and believes a hitman was involved. He fears that Kessler's son Charlie is also targeted. Later we see David Gyasi as Malcom who is trying to find Melody.
There are a couple twists which actually clarify things.
Good performances by all, but especially by Jean Reno, and Sarah Lind as Melody. Kudos.
Notable: Samantha Bond as Mrs. Kessler who is in a rest home as she has Alzheimer's and she gives an important clue to Sheriff Kappa.
This is a very good and well told story. We will see a suitable ending, but I was hoping it would go another way, but........... (9/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes. Rating: A

One of these so-called thrillers that just turned out to be a convoluted and dreary mess of a movie. I did watch it to the end to see how the heck it would play out. But then when it did finally end all I could say was huh? I would say save your time and money and avoid.
'COLD BLOOD' 3/10🌠🌠🌠 = ABANDON
Heavy winter snow, mountains, cabin, isolated older hitman, mysterious female need I say more. The resemblances to 'Polar' don't even end there but I'll leave it at that so not to spoil. Those who love Jean Reno such as myself will get very nostalgic seeing him as a hitman because of the classic 'The Professional' but him being a hitman in this film is just about the only similarity to the 90's classic. The action in this film is very sparse, you get a little in the beginning and a little at the end with a storyline that's about 90% identical to other films. This film also has holes regarding character flaws or reasoning of choices. A lot of it just didnt fit into this small box of a movie. If your a Jean Reno fan you won't mind atleast watching this film but it does not hit the mark at all and I wouldn't recommend this film and my rating is 3 which equals ABANDON, Your time would be better spent elsewhere.

When I saw Jean Reno in the credits it gave me hope but it seems he is just acting now for the money as his performance was lugubrious and seemed uninterested in anything but picking up a cheque.
The story was not fleshed out enough and we were given just a bare bones skeleton without much characterization and not even much action either; mostly just long winter shots of the Ukrainian mountains, which although beautiful does not make a movie.
I struggle to give this even a 3 out of 10 it is really quite boring as most of the other reviewers have already stated!

A hitman living in snowy wilderness finds an injured woman outside his cabin they both try to suss each other out whilst he nurses her to health. The Hitmans last job was taking out a mafia boss so he's naturally suspicious of her whilst her background is hardly touched.
Slightly suspenseful and with Jean Reno you have great presence in each scene. A bit more background to the characters would have improved the film.
You can describe this movie in various ways, and the reviewers before me did that. But the truth of the matter is that this movie is simply stupid. Stupid and idiotic. The action scenes are forced, as if following a guide of 'how to do action scene'. Really, it is just stupid and idiotic movie. Consider me as a servant of the public. I did the job for you, suffering on behalf of humanity the burden of this stupidity. So now you are exempted. Go and find something else to see. Or watch the grass grows. Will be more reasonable.

Two main roles are played well but the screenplay is just too ordinary and contains nothing new. On the top, the ending of movie doesn't have any logic.
A score of 4,5 ...not deserved imho , its a decent movie even if your not a Jean Reno fan is it amazing.. no..not at all..but worth watching..most certainly ... JR does what he does best..the strong silent type ..been a fan since : Le dernier combat , and still am

Maybe I am less fussy about movies or maybe it's because I didnt watch leon. Either way the movie was entertaining enough. Not a fantastic movie but not terrible by my standards. Enjoyed cold pursuit with Neeson more but doesnt make this a bad movie

Incoherent sequencing plus sound recording that obscures most of the dialogue. Seriously needs subtitles to have a chance
