Liam Neeson's latest action film, 'Ice Road: Vengeance,' has become the number one movie on Netflix in the U.S., surprising many due to its poor critical reception. The sequel to 2021's 'The Ice Road' features Neeson as Mike McCann, an ice road trucker who travels to Nepal to scatter his brother's ashes on Mount Everest. During his journey, the tour bus he is on is hijacked by mercenaries linked to corrupt business interests, leading to intense action sequences. The film is directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and pairs Neeson with Chinese star Fan Bingbing. Despite critics giving it a low rating of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes and 28% on the audience score, viewers continue to stream it heavily, possibly due to Neeson’s star power and familiarity. The movie includes typical Neeson action elements, such as fight scenes and daring truck maneuvers, but is criticized for its silly tone, predictable plot, and low production quality. Reviews suggest it is a mediocrity that might be more entertaining if played as a comedy. Meanwhile, other recent Neeson films like 'The Grey' are considered better, but 'Ice Road: Vengeance' remains a top streaming choice, highlighting how Netflix’s top charts often feature overlooked or poorly rated films.
