FANS WILL GO INTO LIAM NEESON'S LATEST ACTION FILM, COLD PURSUIT- in which the actor stars as a grieving father seeking vengeance-with a particular set of expectations. And that's fine by Neeson. "They're gonna take a left turn when they discover the dark humor," he tells Newsweek. The film is a remake of the Norwegian hit In Order of Disappearance, and it's not your typical revenge scenario. Neeson plays Nels Coxman-yes, there are dick jokes-in a fictional icy Colorado town. He lives a quiet life with his wife, Grace (Laura Dern), making his living plowing snow, until their son, Kyle (Micheal Richardson, Neeson's son with the late Natasha Richardson), is murdered by drug lords, prompting Nels to systematically kill everyone involved-in increasingly ridiculous ways. "I've done a few of these action films over the past 10 years," says Neeson, who delivered an Oscar-nominated performance in 1993's Schindler's List but is now best known for the Taken franchise. "Usually, I'm 'a guy with a particular set of skills,'" he says, but Nels has "no skills whatsoever. That was interesting to play."
