I also loved the cinematography by Philip ï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2~gaard which fills the frame with snowy mountains, a giant waterfall, and awesome shots of the plow clearing roads with giant walls of snow left in its wake. I found myself laughing a lot, appreciating how invested the filmmakers had become in giving characters a quick introduction before killing themï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2lather, rinse, repeat. Thereï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s really not much more to the story than that, but thereï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s also something goofily endearing about the whole thing. The second half introduces a counterplot to at least complicate matters, but it mainly serves to allow for a bigger pileup of bodies.

Most of the kills arenï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)t all that interesting, with the exception of one involving a blow-up couch and the final one, which is the closest this movie has to FARGOï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s wood chipper. Most of the film involves Neeson finding a bad guy, getting the name of his superior, and then killing themï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2.and so on and so on. I enjoyed him, but next to Neesonï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s nearly somnambulant efforts, heï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s tonally at oddsï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2but still fun. Further, Neeson practically disappears in the second half of the film, handing it over to Tom Bateman, who chews the scenery and then some as ï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2Vikingï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2?, the aforementioned big bad guy. Early on, when his character puts a gun in his own mouth, you donï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)t feel even a hint of anguish. Unfortunately, Neeson himself goes the Bruce Willis route here and barely puts any effort into his own role. Still, the high body count (complete with a fun tittle card popping up every time someone meets their make), quirky structure and a handful of oddball performances make this an improvement in what has become Neesonï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s tired genre of choice. Its snowy surroundings, fur-lined jackets and small town whimsy makes for more than a passing resemblance to FARGO, but without the layered wit or memorable characterizations.
Unhappily married to Grace (Laura Dern), who writes my favorite ï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2Dear Johnï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2 1/2ï¿ 1/2? letter of all time in this film, Nels abandons all reason and family to kill his way through a huge roster of bad folks in order to confront the ultimate Big Bad.
#THE 99 CRITICAL SHOTS IN POOL TORRENT DRIVER#
Neeson stars as Nels Coxman, an ordinary snowplow driver in Kehoe, Colorado, who seeks to avenge the murder of his son in what appears to be a drug-related crime. This doesnï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)t necessarily make it good, but at least it tried. COLD PURSUIT, a remake of the 2014 Norwegian feature, IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE, and directed by the same person, Hans Petter Moland, seems at first glance like the trope-riddled output of so many TAKENS and NON-STOPS, but itï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s refreshingly different in tone. Still, Neeson has developed a cottage industry out of avenging the tragic circumstances surrounding kidnapped or murdered offspring. Both tend to have success early on, but eventually peter out. FARGONE - My Review of COLD PURSUIT (3 Stars)Įvery New Year, we can always count on two things - resolutions and the fact that Liam Neeson will kill somebody.
