Trailer for Comedian Jim Gaffigan's Dark Kidnapping Thriller AMERICAN DREAMER
Jim Gaffigan is a funny stand-up comedian. I enjoy his style of comedy, and he’s been a part of some fun comedies over the years, but he’s taking a surprising turn in his latest film project, American Dreamer.
This is the kind of film and role I never thought I’d see Gaffigan in. He plays a “down on his luck rideshare driver who makes extra cash chauffeuring a low level drug dealer around town finds himself in a serious financial bind and decides to kidnap the dealer’s child.”
This is a very dramatic and dark thriller, and this first trailer for it is pretty intense. While it’s hard to imagine Gaffigan in a role like this and take him seriously in it, it looks like he actually does a decent job in this trailer.
American Dreamer was directed by Derrick Borte, who co-wrote the script with Daniel Forte, American Dreamer also stars Robbie Jones and Isabel Arizza. It opens in theaters on September 20th, 2019 and I’ll be checking it out! How about you?
