NEON and Picturehouse Entertainment have unveiled a brand-new trailer for ‘Paper Tiger’, the highly anticipated crime thriller from writer and director James Gray (Ad Astra, The Lost City of Z), alongside confirmation of its UK and Irish cinema release date.
Set in 1986 New York, ‘Paper Tiger’ is a deeply felt and intense crime thriller centred on two brothers whose pursuit of opportunity plunges them into the dangerous world of organised crime.
The story follows Irwin (Miles Teller), a naïve engineer who accepts what appears to be a lucrative business proposition from his brother Gary (Adam Driver), a former police officer. However, when Irwin witnesses something he was never supposed to see at the Gowanus Canal, the brothers find themselves caught in a dangerous confrontation with the newly emerging Russian mafia.
As the threat of violence escalates, Irwin’s wife Hester (Scarlett Johansson) raises the alarm. Desperate to protect his family, Irwin must navigate an increasingly perilous situation, while Gary faces an impossible choice as he attempts to save the people he loves.
The film features an outstanding ensemble cast led by Oscar and BAFTA-nominated actors Adam Driver (Marriage Story, Paterson) and Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story, Lost in Translation), alongside acclaimed actor Miles Teller (Whiplash, Top Gun: Maverick).
