Directed by Hans Petter Moland, Sang froid (original title Cold Pursuit) stars Liam Neeson as Nels Coxman, an ordinary man whose life is turned upside down when his son is brutally murdered. In this quiet, isolated Colorado ski resort, Nels, an unremarkable snowplow driver, decides to avenge his son's death by taking on Viking, a powerful drug lord played by Tom Bateman. Armed with determination and ingenuity, Nels transforms himself into a vigilante, methodically eliminating cartel members in a chilling vendetta that blends action and drama.
Sang froid will be available on Netflix from November 25, 2024.
Synopsis: Welcome to Kehoe, Colorado's luxury ski resort. The local police aren't exactly in demand, until Nels Coxman, the son of a snowplow driver, is murdered on the orders of Viking, a drug lord. Armed with relentless rage and heavy artillery, Nels sets out to dismantle Viking's cartel. His quest for justice soon turns to ruthless revenge. As one Viking associate after another "disappears", Nels transforms from model citizen to cold-blooded vigilante, letting nothing - and no one - stand in his way.
Sang froid will appeal to fans of action thrillers and tales of vengeance that stop at nothing. It may appeal to Liam Neeson fans and those who appreciate works in the vein of Taken or John Wick, where brutal action meets a quest for personal justice. However, Sang froid stands out for its dark tone and offbeat humor, adding a special dimension to the plot.
Viewers sensitive to violent scenes and explicit depictions of revenge may, however, find the film intense. For fans of dark tales, Sang froid combines effectiveness and irony in a uniquely chilling atmosphere.
This film by Hans Petter Moland is in fact the American remake of his own Norwegian film Refroidis(Kraftidioten), released in 2014. Liam Neeson, known for his vigilante roles, plays a relentless character with a touch of vulnerability, offering a captivating contrast between his family man side and his vengeful role. Tom Bateman plays the Viking drug lord, a formidable antagonist who adds complexity to the plot. The action is accentuated by the icy whiteness of the mountain backdrops, reinforcing the oppressive and unique feel of this thriller.
Sang froid is a powerful action film in which Liam Neeson once again demonstrates his talent for vigilante roles. This intense thriller, with its offbeat tone and breathless pace, promises to captivate fans of vengeance and dark tales. A chilling, explosive adventure, ideal for those who love thrillers that are both captivating and uncompromising.
