God may forgive but Vithaya Pansringarm has a really big knife. That's the general lesson learned from the new trio of images to arrive from Nicolas Winding Refn's
Only God Forgives.
Ten years ago in Bangkok 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 kills a prostitute, the police reaches out to retired
cop Chang, known as the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to
kill his daughters 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
orders Julian to find his killers and raise hell.
Increasingly
obsessed with the Angel of Vengeance, Julian challenges him to a boxing
match, hoping that by defeating him he might find spiritual release but
Chang triumphs. A furious Jenna plots revenge and the stage is set for a
bloody journey through betrayal and vengeance towards a final
confrontation and the possibility of redemption.
The director of

Drive has shared a trio of images from his latest
via his official (and brand new) Twitter account, one each for stars Ryan Gosling, Kristin Scott Thomas and Pansringarm. Check all three in the gallery below and remember you can click to enlarge.
