In Order of Disappearance (2016)
Well, “disappearance” is rather overstating the situation since only a handful of the people would’ve ever been classified as missing -- the other dozen plus people are just dead. But that’d be a more unwieldy title, I guess.
Stellan Skarsgard is Nils, “citizen of the year” in his Norwegian town for being the tireless snowplow driver connecting his community to the rest of civilization. His son is killed by gangsters when they believe he’s involved in the theft of their cocaine and Nils isn’t having it. So he finds out the name of the supplier then finds out the name of the guy above the supplier and then the guy above that dude and on up, leaving bodies as he goes.
The only thing wrong with the movie is that it's one-note. The small moments, like the Serbian mob acting like children playing in the snow and a kidnapper scrounging around for something to use as a bedtime story for his young charge and settling on a brochure for snowblowing equipment, nudge the film toward thumbs-up territory.
