Cold Pursuit 2019
Saw on a Virgin channel yet don't remember this coming out.
Liam Neeson as a snow plough driver keeping the roads clear in Kehoe, he does such a good job he gets a citizens award yet on this night his son working in a warehouse is murdered.
The police say it is a drugs killing, adding his son was involved in drugs, he does not agree and his wife played by Laura Dern is more inclined to believe the police.
She wants to talk about grief he wants to know what happened so she leaves him.
He goes I think to his son's warehouse and decides to end it all using his hunting rifle, when from behind the boxes a battered friend of his late son comes out asking for money.
Neeson's character changes from self pity to revenge as he discovers his son was murdered.
What starts to proceed is like a number of revenge movies as Neeson without finger cutting gets the men that had a hand in his sons demise yet he is not satisfied with that yet wants the top man who is well protected.
Mean while the gang has noticed some of their man have gone missing and using logic 2+2=5, decide it is the other reasonably local gang moving in on them and whack their gang member and publicly display his murdered body which crosses cultural sensitivities as they are not your usual drugs gang.
So they plan revenge.
Neeson starts making plans too.
There are some funny moments, dark humour some say.
There are some touching moments.
Stylised killings as the gangs names are displayed as the body count goes up.
A strange yet unclear ending.
People say it is like Fargo or a Tarantino film, it has elements of this and a lot more influences too.
I would give it a 7/10.
