Nels Coxman's quiet life as a snowplow driver comes crashing down when his beloved son dies under mysterious circumstances. His search for the truth soon becomes a quest for revenge against a psychotic drug lord named Viking and his sleazy henchmen. Transformed from upstanding citizen to coldblooded vigilante, Coxman unwittingly sets off a chain of events that includes a kidnapping, a series of deadly misunderstandings and a turf war between Viking and a rival boss.

My husband and I didn't know what to watch one night. I'm not a Liam Neeson revenge movie fan. BUT we settled on Cold Pursuit. It was a nice surprise! There is a dark comedy side not found in his other movies. There is a lot wrong with the movie, lol, but the action parts are pretty fun. Lots of unexpected moments. Weird character development...nothing deep. They just want to get you to the next action scene. The way the cast is shown in the credits is hilarious.

If you can watch it for free on a streaming platform and enjoy action/revenge movies with very little angst and a touch of WTF?! then give this one a watch :)

It has been three years since Elvira “Ellie” Ryder was betrayed by her best friend Cor and watched as her hometown of Kaus was leveled by invaders from a different Zone. Now sworn to seek revenge on him, Ellie has teamed up with her old friend Zach to find their long lost friend.

After getting offered a bounty hunting job—really an assassination job—they find out that part of their payment is the whereabouts of Cor. Without hesitation Ellie and Zach take the job and make their way to the Human Zone to assassinate their target. As they make their way through the desert, and through the Human Zone, they are up against the prejudice of their kind—Kausian, a race that can shapeshift but always stand out with their golden eyes. Nevertheless, they never miss a mark—that is, unless they find out the truth about who destroyed their kind and how their target is right in the middle of it all.

Will Ellie be able to forgive Cor after learning the truth? Or will she forever hold on to that hatred?
