Liam Neeson’s Manitoba-set The Ice Road is the best-worst movie in his unstoppable Daddy Action canon

, Liam Neeson is up against his greatest enemy ever: melting ice.

Yes, writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh’s thriller finally finds a foe – Mother Nature – worthy of going toe to toe with our generation’s most improbable butt-kicker. An absolutely bananas mashup of History Television’sfranchise and just about every post-is destined to go down as one of the actor’s best-worst movies. It is a pureBonus points, too, if you’re from Canada. Because this entry incanon takes place in none other a frosty locale than northern Manitoba.

What matters most is the action, which is 100-per-cent absurd. At first, it’s limited to trucks racing ahead of quickly cracking ice. But then we also somehow get CGI ice waves, truck vs. snowmobile races, gun fights and the longest, slowest, coldest fist fight you will ever see. The thrills here are both cheap and oddly, comfortingly captivating. Of course nothing can ever kill Liam Neeson, but it is a whole lot of no-brain-necessary fun to watch everyone and everything try.
