Liam Neeson goes back into action as a small-town man pushed to the breaking point by a drug cartel. Nels Coxman has a good life. He keeps the roads plowed for a small but wealthy resort town in the Rocky Mountains. The mayor even awarded him “Citizen of the Year.” Then his son dies of a heroin overdose–except he's never done a drug in his life. Coxman is convinced his kid was murdered by a drug gang — so he targets the pushers.

This remake of the blackly comic 2014 Norwegian thriller In Order of Disappearance was tailor-made for Neeson. The original film seemed like precisely the sort of film the star would make, so his leading role in Cold Pursuit almost seems like destiny. Action. Dark comedy. A series of wildly escalating events that all ends in killing? Sounds like a great time.
