James Gray’s Paper Tiger Trailer
Prepare for a dive into the murky depths of ambition and betrayal with Paper Tiger, the gripping new family crime drama from director James Gray, starring the formidable trio of Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson.
The film casts its eye on the late 1980s New York, a landscape brimming with the intoxicating promise of the American Dream. But for the two brothers at the center of the story, this pursuit of success quickly devolves into a perilous game. They stumble into a scheme that promises riches but delivers a nightmare, forcing them to confront a world far more dangerous than they ever imagined.
As the brothers attempt to navigate this treacherous terrain, trying to carve out their place in society, they soon find themselves entangled in a web of corruption and brutal violence. Their quest for the American Dream is violently interrupted by an unwelcome, sinister force: the Russian mob.
The pressure intensifies as the scheme unravels, tearing at the fabric of the brothers’ relationships. What starts as a shared pursuit quickly morphs into a brutal test of loyalty, where bonds begin to fray and unthinkable betrayals become painfully real. The dynamic between the characters deepens as they grapple with the consequences of their choices.
With the compelling performances of Adam Driver and Miles Teller anchoring the narrative, the tension between the characters is palpable, particularly as they navigate the internal and external threats they face. Supporting the cast are Gavin Goudey and Roman Engel, adding layers of complexity to this high-stakes drama.
This epic story is a testament to the high cost of ambition, wrapped in a visually striking and emotionally intense package. The film, which was written, directed, and produced by Gray, and further enhanced by the involvement of Raffaella Leone and Rodrigo Teixeira, captivated audiences upon its premiere at Cannes in May, earning very good reviews.
Mark your calendars: Paper Tiger will arrive in theaters on November 13th, where it will unfold over 114 minutes of relentless drama.
