Liam Neeson-fronted action-thriller movies are pretty dependable. The Northern Irish action star has spent the last decade and a half building a stable of adrenaline-fueled flicks that typically offer no-frills fun, and “The Ice Road,” which premiered on Netflix in the summer of 2021, certainly fits into the mold. And now its sequel has arrived on the streaming service.
Called “Ice Road: Vengeance,” this follow-up sees Neeson again step into the shoes of Mike McCann, a seasoned trucker who is also very handy with a firearm. The original was a Netflix success story, quickly climbing into the No. 1 spot in the platform’s top 10 most-watched list. And considering how much Netflix subscribers seem to love action-thriller efforts, I won’t be shocked if “Ice Road: Vengeance” trends the same path very soon.
