'Cold Pursuit' Trailer: Liam Neeson And His Snowplow Are Out For Revenge

While I'm a bit disappointed that Liam Neeson's usual collaborator Jaume Collet-Serra isn't helming Cold Pursuit, this action-thriller-comedy has Hans Petter Moland – director of the original In Order of Disappearance – in the director's chair, so it's probably in good hands. And based on this trailer, Cold Pursuit is going to be a lot of fun. Sure, Liam Neeson can play this type of role in his sleep at this point. But that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of watching him murder a bunch of fools who crossed him.

In Cold Pursuit, Neeson plays 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."

Hell. Yes. Put this movie in front of my face immediately. Cold Pursuit also stars Emmy Rossum and William Forsythe, but lets be honest: you're going to see this thing to watch Liam Neeson bust some heads. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And here's a fun aside: in the original film, the main character (played by Stellan Skarsgård) was named Nils Dickman. I love that, for whatever reason, they decided to change the name but keep the phallic reference. Movies! Here's the In Order of Disappearance trailer, in case you want to compare the two films.
