Cold Pursuit | comment |
Cold Pursuit is a 2019 American Black Comedy Action Thriller film directed by Hans Petter Moland (in his Hollywood debut) from a screenplay by Frank Baldwin. The film stars Liam Neeson, Laura Dern, Emmy Rossum, William Forsythe, and Tom Bateman. It is a remake of the 2014 Norwegian vigilante film In Order of Disappearance (Kraftidioten), also directed by Moland, and follows a snowplow driver who sets out for revenge on a local drug lord following the murder of his son.Quiet family man and hard-working snowplow driver Nels Coxman is the lifeblood of a glitzy resort town in the Rocky Mountains because he is the one who keeps the winter roads clear. He and his wife live in a comfortable cabin away from the tourists. The town has just awarded him "Citizen of the Year." But Nels has to leave his quiet mountain life when his son is murdered by a powerful drug lord. As a man who has nothing to lose he is stoked by a drive for vengeance. This unlikely hero uses his hunting skills and transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer as he sets out to dismantle the cartel. Nels' actions ignite a turf war between a manically unpredictable gangster known as Viking and a rival gang boss. Justice is served in one final spectacular confrontation that will leave (almost) no one unscathed. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
Cold Pursuit / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Pretty much all the conflict between the two gangs could have been averted if they'd actually taken the time to discuss the situation with one another. To wit: Viking never tells White Bull about his missing men, or asks whether he's responsible. He just assumes he was responsible, based on nothing more than racism, and immediately orders one of White Bull's men to be killed and strung up in retaliation, with no explanation as to what they're retaliating against. White Bull, in turn, never tells Viking that the Native American they murdered was his own son, or that he will only accept "a son for a son" in response. Granted, Viking would never have paid that price, but instead, he assumes he can pacify White Bull by killing Dexter and having Sly present him his head. This not only gets Sly killed as well, but also provokes Dexter's lover Mustang into betraying Viking's gang, leading to the climactic shootout in which Viking and a dozen others are killed. The Eskimo tells Viking that he was hired by a man named Coxman, but doesn't give his first name. Viking assumes it's ex-gangster Brock "Wingman" Coxman, and the terminally-ill Wingman is happy to take the fall to protect his brother. Only much later in the film does Viking learn that there's another Coxman. | |

Hidden Depths: Mustang is Viking's personal bodyguard and driver, and is assumed by most people to be Dumb Muscle. However, several scenes indicate that he is much smarter (although not educated) than most people give him credit for. Additionally, he has developed a deep affection for Viking's young son, and has acquired an appreciation for classical music because of the boy's love of it. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Zig-Zagged. When the Eskimo betrays Coxman to Viking for $90,000, Viking is disgusted at the Eskimo's lack of professionalism: if he has taken Coxman's money for the contract, he should have followed through with the contract. He then has the Eskimo executed. However, he later promises Janitor Chuck $10,000 for information on Coxman's whereabouts. After getting the information, he has Chuck shot. Dexter, one of Viking's henchmen, is visibly annoyed and disgusted by Viking's disrespectful treatment of Native Americans. | |

Disposing of a Body | |
Cold Pursuit / int_33987735 | comment |
Disposing of a Body: Nels disposes of the bodies of his victims by wrapping them in chicken wire before dumping them in the gorge. He later explains to his brother that the wire weighs the bodies down so they sink, but allows the fish access to the body to nibble at it. This prevents gasses from building up and causing the body to bloat and float to the surface. | |

Stockholm Syndrome: Discussed and Implied by Ryan, Viking's son, after he is kidnapped by Nels. After Nels treats him like his own son, making him food, reading a "bedtime story", and letting the kid sleep in his son's old bed, Ryan asks him if he knows what Stockholm Syndrome is. | |

Spell My Name with a "The": Brock puts his brother Nels in touch with a Professional Killer called 'The Eskimo'. Brock warns him that is always 'The Eskimo', not 'Eskimo'. Apparently, it's a Mob thing. | |

Offing the Mouth: Dexter is a smartass who is always cracking wise. When Viking is having a particularly bad day, Dexter makes one wisecrack too many and Viking shoots him, and then has his head sent as a peace offering to White Bull. | |

Cement Shoes | |
Cold Pursuit / int_bccb6703 | comment |
Cement Shoes: Nels wraps the bodies of his victims in chicken wire and dumps them into the river where they are washed over a waterfall into the gorge. When his brother asks why chicken wire, Nels explains that it weighs them down so they sink, but it allows the fish in to nibble at the body so the gasses won't build and cause the body to bloat and float to the surface. | |

Zig-Zagged. When the Eskimo betrays Coxman to Viking for $90,000, Viking is disgusted at the Eskimo's lack of professionalism: if he has taken Coxman's money for the contract, he should have followed through with the contract. He then has the Eskimo executed. However, he later promises Janitor Chuck $10,000 for information on Coxman's whereabouts. After getting the information, he has Chuck shot. | |

Embarrassing Last Name: Nels **Coxman**. Multiple characters crack jokes about it behind his back, or remark about how unfortunate it is, and it even becomes a plot point: the two characters who blow his identity to Viking can only provide his surname, because it stuck out so much to them that they forgot his first name. | |

Taught by Television: Nels explains to his brother Brock—who is a former hitman—that he has been wrapping the bodies in chicken wire before dumping them in the gorge because the wire weighs the bodies down so they sink, but allows the fish access to the body to nibble at it. This prevents gasses from building up and causing the body to bloat and float to the surface. Brock asks him where he learned all of this, and Nels says he watches a lot of crime shows. | |

Groin Attack: Aya is accusing Viking of kidnapping their son, so she threatens Viking that she's gonna take full custody of their son. This pisses Viking off, so he tries to punch Aya, but she ducks his blow and grabs him by the balls. Viking's men seem remarkably reluctant to intervene in this domestic dispute while he groans in pain as she squeezes his testicles even tighter. The scary thing is that she looks like she's enjoying squeezing his balls and humiliating him in front of his men. | |

Shot-for-Shot Remake | |
Cold Pursuit / int_f25ab7c5 | comment |
Shot for Shot Remake: For the most part it follows the same beats of In Order of Disappearance. However, given the Adaptational Nationality and Race Lift, the remake has enough original moments and new spins to some scenes to avoid being a direct copy. An excellent example of this is when the gangsters go at a ski resort and are annoyed that they needed a reservation to have enough rooms. In the original, they were Serbian and not much happened, but in the remake, being Native Americans, the receptionist's unfortunate wording gets a Mistaken for Racist treatment that gives the criminals the upper hand at getting what they want. | |

Everything Is Racist: Deliberately invoked by White Bull's right-hand man Thorpe. When trying to check into the hotel, the receptionist tells him that he needs a reservation. Thorpe chooses to interpret this as her telling him to "get back to the reservation". She repeats the statement several times before she realizes who she is talking to. Threatening all kinds of complaints, Thorpe is able to parlay this into rooms in the fully booked hotel, and free ski passes for the weekend. | |

Brick Joke: While on his way to kill Limbo, the next henchman up the chain, Nels listens to a radio presenter ask who the greatest quarterback of all time is: John Elway or Peyton Manning. Nels replies "Elway". Later, having beaten Limbo senseless, Nels seemingly spares him only to turn round and ask Limbo the same question. Limbo also says "Elway", but Nels kills him anyway. Bone, one of Viking's henchmen, discusses his tactic for seducing hotel chambermaids: lie naked on the bed, place a $20 bill over your genitals, and let her choose whether she takes the bait or not. Later, we see him actually trying it - too bad for him the Native Americans paid the chambermaid off, and they walk in in him instead. Avalanche goes paragliding when White Bull's gang are spending the day at the ski resort. Anyone watching the final shootout closely might notice that Avalanche is not present. The final shot of the movie is is Avalanche's paraglider descending from the sky and colliding with Nils' snowplow where he is Ground by Gears. Whenever a character is killed, their name is dramatically shown on a black screen before cutting to the next scene. In the finale when Viking and White Bull's gangs wipe each other out in a massive shootout, the screen is filled with names. | |
