Robert Pat­tin­son is unrecog­nis­able in the Good Time trailer

Words by Amy Bowker

The Safdie Broth­ers are back with a hyp­not­ic-look­ing New York crime drama.

Robert Pattinson’s career choic­es have been any­thing but pre­dictable of late. He’s back sur­pris­ing us again in the upcom­ing crime-dra­ma Good Time, which tells of a blonde bank rob­ber who has just 24 hours to spring his younger broth­er from jail.

The action-packed trail­er promis­es a wor­thy fol­low-up to the Safdie broth­ers’ pre­vi­ous fea­tures Dad­dy Lon­glegs and The Plea­sure of Being Robbed, which helped estab­lish the direc­tors as reg­u­lar fes­ti­val fixtures.

The offi­cial syn­op­sis reads: ​“After a botched bank rob­bery lands his younger broth­er in prison, Con­stan­tine ​“Con­nie” Nikas (Pat­tin­son) embarks on a twist­ed odyssey through the city’s under­world in an increas­ing­ly des­per­ate – and dan­ger­ous – attempt to get his broth­er Nick (Ben­ny Safdie) out of jail. Over the course of one adren­a­lised night, Con­nie finds him­self rac­ing against the clock to save his broth­er and him­self, know­ing both their lives hang in the balance.”

Star­ing Jen­nifer Jason Leigh, Barkhad Abdi, Bud­dy Duress, Tal­i­ah Wes­bter, and co-direc­tor Ben­ny Safdie, Good Time is set to have its world pre­mière at the Cannes Film Fes­ti­val on May 24.

Good Time is released in cin­e­mas 11 August. Let us know your thoughts on this trail­er by tweet­ing @LWLies
