Cold Pursuit
Cold Pursuit is a 2019 action thriller film directed by Hans Petter Moland and written by Frank Baldwin. An international co-production, the film stars Liam Neeson, Tom Bateman, Tom Jackson, Emmy Rossum, Domenick Lombardozzi, Julia Jones, John Doman, and Laura Dern.

Plot
After being awarded Citizen of the Year by the ski resort of Kehoe, Colorado, snowplow driver Nels Coxman's life is disrupted when his son dies from a forced heroin overdose, murdered by a Denver drug cartel. Nels saws the barrel off a rifle, and kills three members of the cartel, Speedo, Limbo, and Santa, and dumps their bodies over a nearby waterfall. Their bodies are wrapped in chicken-wire fencing, which allows fishes to eat the meat off the bones of the bodies, and the wire will keep the bones at the bottom of the stream. Nels read about this way of disposing of bodies in a crime novel. Nels's wife Grace (angry at his seemingly cold lack of grief) leaves him.
