Viggo Mortensen inherits a role like a few actors do. Sometimes he’ll go a little method (a la Daniel Day Lewis) but I have no complaints. Even the most run-of-the-mill flicks (HIDALGO) command some attention due to his acting prowess. The latest of his films, THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY, looks to feature a love triangle and some crime to link them all together.

This trailer also showcases the work of Oscar Isaac, who will now be forever known as one of the new cast members of STAR WARS: EPISODE VII. Kirsten Dunst is the only member I’m a little iffy about, but not enough to shy away from this flick. This would be the feature-film debut of Hossein Amini, or more recently wrote DRIVE and 47 RONIN. Looks like this could go either way, but Mortensen warrants a look, at least.

THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY, starring Viggo Mortensen, Oscar Isaac, and Kirsten Dunst, will see a limited US release on October 3, 2014.
