See The Powerful Trailer For A MOST VIOLENT YEAR Starring Oscar Isaac And Jessica Chastain

A24 Films has released a brand new trailer for one of the most anticipated movies of 2014, A MOST VIOLENT YEAR. The film will have its World Premiere at the AFI Film Festival this Thursday.

Starring Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, and Albert Brooks, check out the terrific preview below.

A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. From acclaimed writer/director J.C. Chandor, and starring Oscar Isaac (INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS) and Jessica Chastain (ZERO DARK THIRTY), this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay.

A follow up to one of the best films of 2013, ALL IS LOST, this latest movie marks J.C. Chandor’s third feature. His new drama examines one immigrant’s determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and – above all – his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path. With A MOST VIOLENT YEAR, Chandor journeys in a bold new direction, toward the place where best intentions yield to raw instinct, and where we are most vulnerable to compromise what we know to be right.

A MOST VIOLENT YEAR will be in NY and LA on December 31, 2014 and will expand in January 2015.
