The first trailer for theNicolas CageandJoel Kinnaman-ledSympathy for the Devilis out, and it is creepy as hell. The movie was first announced last year withThe Secrets We KeepdirectorYuval Adlerat the helm. While the plot details for the psychological horror are kept tightly under wraps the new trailer gives us an insight into this unhinged ride.
“People always say, ‘Don’t assume the worst,'” says Cage’s character, who isreferred to as The Passenger.He set the theme of the movie saying, “Sometimes the worst is exactly what you should assume,” as we see him carjacking Kinnaman, who is set to drive to the hospital for the birth of his child. But instead, he’s forced to drive at gunpoint as The Passenger starts to show his true colors. Soon they get into a game of cat and mouse where it becomes clear that everything is not as it seems.
What’sSympathy for the DevilAbout?
By the looks of the trailer Cage and Kinnaman have managed toget into their character’s skin. Cage plays the role with pure insanity and proves he doesn’t mind pulling the trigger for any small reason, and Kinnaman aka The Driver seems like a person who has no idea how he ended up in this situation on the most important night of his life. The movie seems to take place through the night in and around Las Vegas as these two grapple with the consequence of their situation.
