It’s sad to see how Liam Neeson, an actor who has given us remarkable performances and who once found his place in action films with titles like Taken, is now stuck in projects as unnecessary as Ice Road Vengeance. The first film was a modest piece of entertainment with a clear premise, but this sequel feels like it exists only to stretch out a story that never needed continuation. The script simply repeats familiar formulas without offering freshness or real tension. The characters lack depth, and the twists are predictable, turning the movie into a routine action exercise incapable of generating emotion. The supposed emotional core remains shallow and never sustains the drama it aims for. Visually, it just about does the job, with a few attempts at spectacle that ultimately feel soulless. There’s an effort to emulate big productions, but the result is closer to a made-for-TV movie. In the end, Ice Road Vengeance is a sequel with no real purpose. It isn’t a disaster, but it is forgettable, reinforcing the feeling that Neeson deserves projects worthy of his talent, not yet another title lost among an increasingly irrelevant filmography.
