Following on from 2011's critically acclaimed Drive, writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson) teams with Ryan Gosling (The Ides of March) again this year for Only God Forgives, and based on the first footage from the film - which has just been released in the form of a short, 20-second teaser - it looks like the pair are set to deliver another slick and stylish crime thriller.
Only God Forgives stars Gosling as Julian, a respected figure in the criminal underworld who runs a Thai boxing club as a front for his family's drug-smuggling operation. When his brother is killed, Julian's mother - a merciless and terrifying mafia godmother played by Kristen Scott Thomas (The English Patient) - forces him to track down and kill the man responsible, retired policeman Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm; The Hangover Part II), a.k.a. the Angel of Vengeance.

There's no word on an official release date yet, although the film is expected to arrive around May, so a full trailer should be with us soon.
