Admittedly, I just bought COLD this for three reasons: a recommendation, I liked The Raid and damnit, Iko Uwais is so hot. Unfortunately, though, like The Raid's incredibly inferior sequel, this movie was so light on action, heavy on attempts at heart – though the climax worked perfectly and uninteresting and clichéd plot points, I'm going to have to watch The Raid again just to get my Gareth Evans/Iko Uwais action fix. (Luckily, I bought this plus The Raid on Bluray simultaneously.) On the positive side, the movie's very well shot – this man, Evans, knows what he's doing and when the action's on screen, it's fun. Sadly, it just takes way too long to get there. Worth one viewing and then just jump back into The Raid.
