À propos de ce film

Quiet family man and hard-working snowplow driver Nels 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.

Notes et avis

Pretty bad. Black comedy of this type has to be done extremely well to not feel cheap. A straight thriller would have been so much better, but are we at a point were we can't have Neeson to that role because of comments made in the press? , so it needed to be a comedy? ridiculous if so.

This was a genuinely gorgeous watch. It was weirdly episodic and the humour was subtle and dark. Very intriguing, I was always wondering what random death or quirky gag was coming round the corner. A large array of characters were each fleshed out enough to make this story come alive and give a bit more impact to the conflict. Quite slow paced, but if you're looking for something offbeat, a little grim and engaging throughout - look no further.

What a waste of time. Not even funny. I would highly NOT recommend.
