ONLY GOD FORGIVES Gets Red Band Trailer

ONLY GOD FORGIVES Gets Red Band Trailer

Even though I neglected to add this film into my list of the most anticipated films of the year, Only God Forgives directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Ryan Gosling might just be my most anticipated film of the year. Refn’s last film Drive was my favorite flick of 2011 and Only God Forgives tackles a topic very near and dear to my heart, Muay Thai boxing in the thick of Thailand.

Although I try to avoid trailers for the most part, I just couldn’t help myself with this one and it looks spectacular. It’s hard to miss the neon streaked cinematography, sleek direction and the samurai urgency violence that characterized Drive. Not quite sure why the trailer was slapped with a red-band as there isn’t much blood and no nudity or language. You might even say that it’s safe for work.
