Liam Neeson is a Snow Plow Driver Out For Revenge in Trailer For COLD PURSUIT
The first trailer has been released for Liam Neeson’s new action thriller. The movie was original titled Hard Powder, which I loved because it was such a 90s action movie title. Not to worry, though! The new title is Cold Pursuit and that’s just as 90s.
This is the film where Neeson plays a snow plow driver who ends up embarking on a vengeful hunt for the person who killed his son. Here’s the synopsis:
COLD PURSUIT, an action thriller infused with irreverent humor, stars Liam Neeson as Nels Coxman, a family man whose quiet life with his wife (Laura Dern) is upended following the mysterious death of their son. Nels’ search for justice turns into a vengeful hunt for Viking (Tom Bateman), a drug lord he believes is connected to the death. As one by one each of Viking’s associates “disappear,” Nels goes from upstanding citizen to ice-cold vigilante, letting nothing — and no one — get in his way.
The movie is a remake of a film called In Order of Disappearance which starred Stellan Skarsgård and the director the the original film, Hans Petter Moland, directed this remake. I included the trailer for the original film as well, just in case you’re curious. It also stars Laura Dern, Emmy Rossum and William Forsythe,
Cold Pursuit looks like another great Liam Neeson action thriller and it’s set to be released on February 8, 2019.
