In Cold Pursuit Trailer Liam Neeson Reaps Revenge With A Snow Plough
I don’t think anyone has learned that Liam Neeson is a man with a particular set of skills and you shouldn’t piss him off. In his latest Cold Pursuit, he seeks revenge using a snowplough! Today Studiocanal release the UK Trailer which teases that this film might have the violence, but has humour as well!
Based on the 2014 Norwegian thriller In Order of Disappearance (starring Stellan Skarsgard), directed by Hans Petter Moland. For this English language version, Moland returns behind the camera for this one. Where the film moves from Norwegian mountains to the Rocky Mountain range in the States. The basis of the original film is still the same with Neeson playing a well respected mild-mannered snowplough driver. He gets embroiled in a drug cartel war whilst seeking revenge for the death for his son after a heroin overdose.
Many of Neeson’s films and the action-driven ones particular have been very serious in tone. The dark humour tone really seems to work here, giving his film a nice unique twist without losing its violent edge.

Welcome to Kehoe, itโs -10 degrees and counting at this glitzy ski resort in the Rocky Mountains. The local police arenโt used to much action until the son of unassuming town snowplough driver, Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), is murdered at the order of Viking (Tom Bateman), a flamboyant drug lord. Fueled by rage and armed with heavy machinery, Nels sets out to dismantle the cartel one man at a time, but his understanding of murder comes mainly from what he read in a crime novel. As the bodies pile up, his actions ignite a turf war between Viking and his long-standing rival White Bull (Tom Jackson), a soulful Native-American mafia boss, that will quickly escalate and turn the small townโs bright white slopes blood-red.
Cold Pursuit will be in the UK and Irish Cinemas from 22nd February 2019. The film also stars Laura Dern, Tom Jackson, Emmy Rossum and Tom Bateman.
