Let’s watch the first official trailer of A Most Violent Year, the upcoming crime drama thriller movie written and directed by J.C. Candor and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain:

A MOST VIOLENT YEARPlot:
“A thriller set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically one of the most violent years in the city’s history, and centered on a the lives of an immigrant and his family trying to expand their business and capitalize on opportunities as the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.”

A thoughtful and provocative quote from the trailer:

“When it feels scary to jump that is exactly when you jump otherwise you end up staying at the same place your whole life.”

Abel Morales (played by Oscar Isaac)
