THE FREE WORLD Trailer: Boyd Holbrook and Elisabeth Moss Outrun The Law
Here's the first trailer for The Free World, a new movie from IFC Films that debuted at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) plays an ex-con who discovers a beaten and bloody woman (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men) with a mysterious past, and the two slowly fall for each other as they outrun an officer chasing them down (Sung Kang, Fast Five) with what appears to be the aid of the ex-con's case worker (Octavia Spencer). Looks pretty good to me!
I'd never heard of this movie before this morning (thanks to /Film for fixing that), but we don't have long to wait until we have the chance to see it — the film hits theaters and VOD on September 23, 2016.
How hard would you fight to be free? After spending two decades in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Mo (Boyd Holbrook) struggles to put his past behind him as he readjusts to a new life working in an animal shelter. Doris (Elisabeth Moss) is trapped in another sort of prison: an abusive marriage. A dramatic encounter brings these two troubled souls together, and a possible murder connects them. Soon, Mo finds himself risking everything—including being locked up once again for someone else’s crime—to protect the fragile Doris. Driven by explosive performances from Elisabeth Moss and rising star Boyd Holbrook, the feature debut from director Jason Lew is a gripping, mood-drenched exploration of guilt, redemption, and what it means to be free.
