Neeson takes on the role of Nels Coxman, an ordinary snowblower operator.
A wild and witty actioner starring Liam Neeson, combining suspense and wicked humour, has hit Netflix.
With the cold nights and Christmas upon us, this quirky and funny revenge saga is the perfect choice for the gloomy evenings, reports the Mirror.
Netflix subscribers can now watch this gem at no extra cost - a tempting treat for Liam Neeson fans who want to see their favourite star in a refreshingly different light.
Neeson takes on the role of Nels Coxman, an ordinary snowblower operator whose peaceful existence in Colorado is shattered after his son falls victim to a violent Denver drug syndicate, leading him on a bloody trail of retribution, in the American remake of the Norwegian film In the Line of Disappearance.
The film may seem like a typical Neeson action flick, but according to fans and critics it stands out as an exception in his repertoire.
The 2019 film was named one of the best action movies of the year on Rotten Tomatoes, with many key critics agreeing that it's not to be overlooked.
Empire magazine was impressed, awarding Cold Pursuit four stars and writing:
"The typically taciturn Neeson is surrounded by a colorful cast, humor and a complete disregard for movie stereotypes. It may be a bit bloated, but it deserves praise for taking a road not taken."
Forbes also doesn't stop praising the film, calling it "the first great comedy of 2019" and noting, "What makes this film shine is the quality of the script," while drawing parallels to the works of Tarantino and the Coen brothers. | BGNES
