Drive was my favorite film of 2011. The pairing of Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling was a match made in heaven and when the film was released I was thrilled with the results, so you can imagine how happy I was when I heard they were re-teaming for another film titled Only God Forgives, a film set in Thailand with a revenge fuelled plot.
This past week, low quality footage from the film leaked onto the net but the teaser clip shows enough to get an idea of what we might be in for. It’s cool, collected and hints at the level of violence we might be in for in the style that made Drive so popular. The film, which co-stars Kristen Scott Thomas, has no release date yet but will likely be ready for the end of the year
Take a look at the first clip from Only God Forgives and get ready to “meet the devil.”
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.
