"What makes you think you can kill a man?" "I read it in a crime novel."
Cold Pursuit , which was originally titled Hard Powder until they changed the name to this one. The film is a remake of the Norwegian thriller In Order of Disappearance starring Stellan Skarsgård, one of my favorite Norwegian films. Directed by the same Norwegian filmmaker as the original, this Hollywood version stars Liam Neeson as a snow plow driver who gets caught up with a crime gang when he son turns up dead. He goes out for revenge and gets back at them in the best ways possible. The full cast includes Laura Dern , Tom Bateman, Emmy Rossum , William Forsythe, Julia Jones, and Raoul Max Trujillo . I've been hoping this one might turn out good, and from the looks of it so far, there's some hope this remake might be awesome. Neeson kicking some crime lord ass. Check it out below.
