After DRIVE, how can Nic Refn and Ryan Gosling’s follow up, ONLY GOD FORGIVES, not rank high on your must see list of 2013? I know it’s my #1 priority this year, and though it’s a low-res look, the first teaser trailer for the flick has finally stepped into the ring. Take a jab at that sucker below!
Also featuring the likes of Kristen Scott Thomas, Tom Burke, Gordon Brown, Joe Cummings and Taiwanese popstar Yayaying (below) – ONLY GOD FORGIVES takes us to:
Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian killed a cop and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty. When Julian’s brother murders a prostitute, the police call on retired cop Chang – the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter’s murderer, then ‘restores order’ by chopping off the man’s right hand. Julian’s mother Jenna – the head of a powerful criminal organization – arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and ‘raise hell’.
The flick drops May 23rd.
