Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn for the upcoming
Only God Forgives and to say that anticipation has been running high since the project was announced is a bit of an understatement. And now it's time for that anticipation to run a little higher with the arrival of the first absolutely sterling trailer.
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.
Take a look at the first trailer below.
