Question: What's the coolest movie of 2013 likely to be?



*Pretends to listen to your response*



Hmm... Yes, yes... Interesting. Except that you're WRONG! The answer is Only God Forgives, the new thriller from director Nicolas Winding-Refn and star Ryan Gosling, a.k.a. the badasses that brought us the incredible Drive (read my review here). Peep the synopsis, courtesy of Twitchfilm:



“Julian is on the run from the British police. He runs a Thai Boxing club in Bangkok which is a front for a drugs smuggling operation. He is well respected within the criminal underworld, but deep in his heart he feels that his life is lacking something. He meets a retired cop, The Angel of Vengeance, and finds out that he has to confront his mother.”



​Gosling on the run? Thai kickboxing? Drug smuggling? Criminal underworld? Vengeance? Mother? Sign us up because that sounds frickin' incredible!



Check out the first footage of the film below. The clip is short, but you get a good sense of the film's noirish style and you even get a glimpse of a Ryan Gosling kickboxing fight scene!
