Michael Mason (Richard Madden) is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself in the hands of the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar (Idris Elba), the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale criminal conspiracy in the heart of the police force. What would be another run-of-the-mill action romp is elevated by the great Idris Elba in this trailer for BASTILLE DAY!
Mr. Elba is pretty boss all on his own, but throw a gun in the man’s hand and you have a must-see flick. I dig seeing Richard Madden outside of the Game of Thrones universe, and dare I say that he looks to have some solid chemistry with Elba, pseudo-American accent aside. BASTILLE DAY may not overtake the fortress of cinema (roll with me here), but it looks like it could pass for a fun hour and a half.
BASTILLE DAY will be released sometime this year.
