"Cold Pursuit" tells a story about a father's revenge against the drug dealers who killed his son. 66-year old Liam Neeson plays Nels Coxman, who transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer.

The film is an English-language remake of a Norwegian thriller which was released in the U.S. under the title "In Order of Disappearance."
