UK Trailer For Gosling & Winding Refn’s ‘Only God Forgives’

Is there a hotter directing and acting duo in cinema than Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn? After the gripping modern fairytale, DRIVE, we think not and we’re eager to see their next collaboration with another ultra-violent vision. Speaking of which, the brand new international trailer has been released for the thriller ONLY GOD FORGIVES. The film hits the U.S. on July 19th and in the U.K. on August 2nd with the following synopsis.

Julian (Ryan 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 (Kristin 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 (Vithaya Pansringarm), an act that will cost him dearly.
