We finally have our first real trailer for the highly anticipated film Only God Forgives which was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and stars Ryan Gosling. They both worked on the incredible film Drive, but this new movie looks ever better! The story is set in the Thailand underground boxing world, and even though there isn't a lot of action shown in this trailer, you still get a sense that the movie is going to be awesome. Like Drive, this movie is sure to deliver some classically badass scenes.
Julian (Gosling) lives in exile in Bangkok where he runs a Thai boxing club as a front for the family’s drugs smuggling operation. When Julian’s brother Billy is killed their mother, Jenna (Kristen Scott Thomas), arrives in the city. She wants revenge and forces Julian to find the killer. Julian’s contacts in the criminal underworld lead him directly to The Angel of Vengeance, a retired police officer who knows everything and who is both Judge and Punisher. Jenna demands that Julian kill The Angel of Vengeance, an act that will cost him dearly.
Only God Forgives also stars Vithaya Pansringarm and Kristin Scott Thomas, and is set to premiere at The Cannes Film Festival before opening in the U.S. on May 23rd.
