Cold Pursuit (2019)

Nearly 15 years after earning an Oscar nomination for Schindler’s List, Liam Neeson took a turn toward the action-packed when, as ex-CIA agent and doting dad Bryan Mills, he promised the men who kidnapped his daughter in Taken that he would find them [dramatic pause] and kill them. Now, ten years and even more revenge-flicks-that-all-kind-of-look-the-same later, Neeson is feeling vindictive yet again in Hans Petter Moland’s Hard Powder — but this time he’s got a snowplow. And, as Deadline reports, an official release date: February 8, 2019.

According to the film’s official synopsis, Neeson plays Nels Coxman, a nose-to-the-grindstone family man (Laura Dern plays his wife) who is beloved by the residents of his Colorado resort town because “he is the one who keeps the winter roads clear.” One could argue that keeping roads snow-free is exactly what a snowplow operator is paid to do, but let’s not mess with a good thing. Especially as Neeson’s character seems willing to go way beyond the call of duty when, following the murder of his son at the hands of a ruthless drug lord, Coxman channels his inner huntsman and “transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer as he sets out to dismantle the cartel,” which in turn triggers a turf war between “a manically unpredictable gangster known as Viking and a Native American gang boss.”

If that sounds like a lot of words you might never expect, or want, to hear in a sentence together, bear in mind that Hard Powder is a remake of Moland’s 2014 Norwegian film, In Order of Disappearance, so it has worked before. More importantly: It may be the last time Neeson seeks onscreen vengeance. When asked about his action-star status at the 2017 Toronto Film Festival, Neeson admitted that he was ready to retire that mantle: “Guys, I’m sixty-****ing-five.”

I liked the original Norwegian film, but I’m not too sure this remake will be as fun. Hopefully it’ll keep it’s dark comedy elements instead of becoming Taken-on-Ice

Simpsons did it first...

[Monterey Jack]

Nels Coxman? That's about as absurd as Harry Hole.

[urrutiap]

Liam Neeson not doing any more revenge movies because hes 65 or whatever?

Come on. Please... there are other actors that are way older than him and they're still doing action movies

[scifisuperfan]

If Liam is on it i will watch for sure.

[Cremildo]

"Snowplow Revenge Thriller"? Oy.

Time to give Spielberg a call and beg for Schindler's List 2.

So we’ve had Neeson seek vengeance on a plane, a train, in a cemetery, in east Europe, against the mob and now on the frozen tundra.

Put this man in space for justice alreaday.

He was on Frozen Tundra already in The Grey seeking revenge against a super wolf, remember?

Next Liam Neeson revenge movie -- he gets revenge on an eBay buyer who left him petty negative feedback.

One of my all time favourite films. If this is even half as good I'd dig it.

Always good to see more Liam Neeson action movies!

Sounds almost like a parody or something from an SNL skit.

Now called Cold Pursuit:

Cold Pursuit (2019 Movie) Official Trailer – Liam Neeson, Laura Dern, Emmy Rossum - YouTube

[Foggy]

Trailer is pretty badly put together, but it looks rather close to the original film with the quirkiness toned down ever so slightly.

[Chaotic]

Hopefully it'll be better than Hot Pursuit.

Looks like a fun day at the theater!

In Order of Disappearance has been on my Netflix list for a while, but I still need to watch it. Gonna skip this trailer until I do. I'm mixed these dumb Neeson action thrillers (The Grey is easily his best movie of the last decade or so), so I rarely go out of my way to see them.
