Vulture reports that Liam Neeson will star in Hans Petter Moland’s Hard Powder — but this time he’s got a snowplow. The revenge flick's official release date is February 8, 2019.
"According to the film’s official synopsis, Neeson plays Nels Coxman, a nose-to-the-grindstone family man (Laura Dern plays his wife) who is beloved by the residents of his Colorado resort town because “he is the one who keeps the winter roads clear.” One could argue that keeping roads snow-free is exactly what a snowplow operator is paid to do, but let’s not mess with a good thing. Especially as Neeson’s character seems willing to go way beyond the call of duty when, following the murder of his son at the hands of a ruthless drug lord, Coxman channels his inner huntsman and “transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer as he sets out to dismantle the cartel,” which in turn triggers a turf war between “a manically unpredictable gangster known as Viking and a Native American gang boss.”
Hard Powder is a remake of Moland’s 2014 Norwegian film, In Order of Disappearance.
