By 5 months ago. x. If you think the premise for Liam Neeson action movies can’t stretch credibility any more, Hard Powder will prove you wrong. Liam Neeson started his second act as an action movie star as a man with a “particular set of skills” with Taken in 2008. Two Taken sequels (to this point), and a few similar deviations ( Non-Stop, The Commuter, Run All Night) later, and the action movies starring Neeson seem to have over-extended premises that can’t get any more ridiculous and unbelievable. On The Dan Patrick Show Friday morning, the crew had a discussion centered on an apparent new action movie starring Neeson called Hard Powder.

This afternoon the snow plow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil! I hate the snow! “If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.” Sure enough, pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing.
It came off as a joke, thus easily dismissed as such, and even tweeted out a list titled “Liam Neeson movie or not.”. But it’s not a joke at all.
According to, Hard Powder is scheduled to hit theaters on Feb. 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 acomfortable 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 hasnothing 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 Native American gang boss. Justice is served in one final spectacular confrontation that will leave (almost) no one unscathed. Only in Colorado, or maybe upstate New York, could a snowplow driver get named “Citizen of the Year” simply for doing his job keeping roads clear all winter. Then the inciting incident, in a true Taken tone, involves a child in danger (killed in this case) to spur Neeson’s character into action in search of vengeance.
Hard Powder is. Director Hans Petter Moland is Americanizing his 2014 Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance. So in theory the premise has worked before, and could again with some success in American theaters.
