nothing to lose!! Nels has hunting
skills he puts to good use and he ignites a war between gangster Viking and a
rival gang boss.
I wondered while I was watching this film what the body count would be? It is 25 but there are more in other films!! The top movie for the highest body count is Return of the King 2003 with 836. And I thought 25 was a high number?? Liam Neeson takes action and he doesn’t bother to take names, the movie does that for him!! I really liked the size of the snow plow and what Neeson does with it's power!! There are times when you have to laugh but it’s really not funny!! 4* (I really liked this movie)

remake of In Order of Disappearance 2014 also directed by Hans Petter Moland. Liam Neeson has stated that this will
be his final action movie role? A
permit to film in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada was denied in early
2017. Parks Canada objected because
antagonist of the film is an aboriginal Canadian. Even this actor Tom Jackson could not sway the government
agency’s opinion and production was moved away from the park.
