One look at the poster made us initially roll our eyes way upward.......
Oh no......yet another in the series of "Liam Neeson Fights His Way Off A Public Vehicle" thrillers......
As in.....Liam on a plane! Liam on a train! And now.......prepare yourself.....Liam on a frickin' snowplow! Buckle up and wear your thermal underwear!
You heard us right. It's bloody and funny as hell, piling up dry humor as fast as it piles up the bodies......
And take the BQ's word for it here......that's fast.
What we've got here is some kind of off-the-wall crossbreeding of the Coen brothers "Fargo" with all the well known Tarantino tropes. The perpetually rising number of gangster corpses becomes the film's longest running gag.
You can tell the filmmakers here can barely keep from snickering off screen as they announce each violent death with a black title card......itemizing the character killed along with the person's nickname in quotes........
You see, Liam doesn't take too kindly when his only son is murdered by a psychotic young Colorado drug lord. So he exchanges plowing snow for murderously plowing through the kingpin's minions.
The crazy kingpin mistakenly blames Liam's assorted hits on a rival native american gang. And an all out gangster war breaks out, while Liam goes about his business of decreasing the criminal population by impressive amounts.......
