Vengeance Gets Complicated In The New International Trailer For ONLY GOD FORGIVES
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m ready to see director Nicolas Winding Refn‘s latest crime thriller, Only God Forgives. Coming off of Steven Knight‘s new film, Redemption, however, I get the feeling that this particular film goes along the lines for a similar approach, in terms of the neon-lit noir genre, which by all means is not a bad thing. Of course, what does matter is how the film delivers, and as I have said before, I’m ready for July 19 to happen. Film fans and Goslingites in the U.K., on the other hand, get a brand new trailer prior to an August 2, 2013 release for the film.
SYNOPSIS:
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.
