What happens when an unforgivable crime brutally shatters a quiet life? For Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), a seemingly ordinary snowplow driver in a picturesque Colorado town, the answer is a chilling, unstoppable descent into cold-blooded vengeance. With Liam Neeson embodying vengeance in one of his most compelling roles yet, Cold Pursuit is sure to captivate fans of action thrillers.
Nels' idyllic existence is abruptly torn apart by the mysterious death of his son, which he soon discovers is linked to a powerful drug lord known as Viking (Tom Bateman). Fueled by grief and an unyielding desire for justice, Nels takes matters into his own hands and trades his snow plow for a path of brutal retribution. As Viking's criminal empire begins to unravel mysteriously and his associates vanish one by one, Nels transforms from an unassuming citizen into a ruthless vigilante, showing how even the most peaceful man can become a formidable force when pushed to the edge.
Directed by Hans Petter Moland, Cold Pursuit is a remake of the critically acclaimed original Norwegian film, In Order of Disappearance, also directed by Moland. While the film is about a journey of revenge, it also delivers a surprisingly dark humor that audiences won’t help but chuckle at.
In an exclusive interview with CineMagna, Liam Neeson revealed what he thinks truly sets Cold Pursuit apart from typical revenge thrillers: “What makes this project unique is, yes, it’s a revenge drama, but... the bad guys you meet are not just one-dimensional characters. You kind of get involved in all their lives. You kind of care for them in a strange, warped way, even though they do atrocious acts of violence. But they’re just very richly drawn, and they’ve got a great sense of humor, dark and sort of bleak, but it's humor nonetheless. And [Nels] is a total amateur, just caught up in this vortex of crime and criminology he never knew existed in this strange and quaint ski town.”
