COLD PURSUIT
* * ½
(Vigilante flick)
Here we go again.
Liam Neeson plays vigilante. This time he's a snowplow driver in a small town outside of Denver where he spends his time clearing the mountain roads.
When the police discover his son's body and rule it a drug overdose, he starts his mission to find out what really happened. The body count sets a record as over 14 bad guys are eliminated in this gruesome tale that actually throws in some funny moments to lighten the load.
Neeson tracks down the drug dealers and anyone remotely involved, wrapping their bodies and dumping them in the icy cold river. He works his way up and down the ladder until the obligatory showdown with the top guy. You know who wins.
Along the way, a group of Native Americans get involved when the chief's son is killed by the drug dealers, and all heck breaks loose.
Neeson's wife (Laura Dern) gets fed up after a couple of vigilante acts and just leaves, never to be seen again.
In this eye-for-an-eye story, Neeson kidnaps the drug leader's young son in retribution for his son. So we have the Native Americans and the snow plow driver in hot pursuit of the bad guys. Many are killed and there is blood everywhere in the white snow.
At times it appears as if the movie is a satire on the genre, especially during the credits, which read "Cast in order of disappearance.”
Rated R, with violence galore.
