Nelson “Nels” Coxman (Neeson) is a humble snowplower in his small snowy town in the Rocky Mountains, who is left with despair and rage when his son is murdered at the hands of Viking (Bateman), a local gangster. Seeking revenge against the cartel that took his son’s life, Nels begins his own murder spree by killing one gangster after another, which ignites a turf war between rival gangs and turns the small town upside down…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Liam Neeson brings a bit of both hardcore action and an unexpected flare for comedy in this darkly humorous remake of the Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance, as directed by original filmmaker Hans Petter Moland.
