Trailer for Jon Bernthal and Shea Whigham's Dark Comedy Drama SMALL ENGINE REPAIR
Vertical Entertainment has released a trailer for an upcoming indie film titled Small Engine Repair, which stars Jon Bernthal, Shea Whigham, Ciara Bravo, and John Pollono. It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bernthal in anything and this looks like a great film project for him.
In the film, “Frank (Pollono), Swaino (Bernthal) and Packie (Whigham) are lifelong friends who share a love of the Red Sox, rowdy bars and Frank’s teenaged daughter Crystal (Bravo). But when Frank invites his pals over to a whiskey-fueled evening and asks them to do a favor on behalf of the brash young woman they all adore, events soon spin wildly out of control. Based on Pollono's award-winning play, Small Engine Repair is a pitch-black comedic drama with a wicked twist, and a powerful exploration of brotherhood, class struggle and toxic masculinity.”
The movie was written and directed by John Pollono, and it looks like a great flick that I’m interested in checking out! As you’ll see in the trailer the movie starts out one way and ends up taking an incredibly dark and intense turn.
The film will be released in select US theaters starting on September 10th, 2021.
