Watch the Promo for Director Nicolas Winding Refn's Artful-Looking Action Movie

Director Nicholas Winding Refn, whose Pusher trilogy was one of the grimmest cinematic achievements of the last decade, brings his sensibility to this crime thriller about a stunt driver starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, and … Albert Brooks? From the looks of it – and judging from positive reactions out of the Cannes Film Festival, where he took home the prize for best director – Refn may have successfully blended arthouse appeal into a taut, refreshingly intelligent nailbiter. (The screenplay is by Hossein Amini, best known for his Henry James adaptation The Wings of the Dove.) Fingers crossed until September 16, then!
