Good Time trailer
A24 have released a brand new trailer for their upcoming Stateside release Good Time, which stars Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Barkhad Abdi. The film premiered at last month’s Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews, including one here on The Hollywood News.
The film kicks off with a close-up of the face of Nick Nikas (Benny Safdie). Nick is being interviewed and looks to be being asked a series of uncomfortable questions by a therapist. This is brought to an abrupt close as said therapy session is interrupted by Robert Pattinson’s Connie, Nick’s brother who hoists him out onto the street, other things clearly on his mind.
It’s not long before the action is relocated to a small bank in Flushing, New York, the duo now wearing really rather impressive masks, full-faced rubbery ones covering everything including their exposed necks to not reveal any exposed skin. The robbery is far from grand and explosive, the two clear amateurs opting to pass hand-written notes across the counter rather than use excessive force, but it works nonetheless. The two escape with the cash, which of course is riddled with dye so naturally explodes in their faces as they flee in an escape car (or is it an Uber?). A resulting chase involving the pair ends with Nick being captured by the authorities, the rest of the film made up of Connie attempting to free him by using any means necessary.
The film has a release date set for August 11th in the US, the audience that this trailer is aimed at, but UK fans may have to wait a little while as the film doesn’t have a British release set as yet.
For now, we’ll just have to settle for this fantastic new trailer. Take a look.
