If you’ve been waiting for Jude Law to return to a leading role, have we got the film for you. DOM HEMINGWAY made a splash at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, garnering attention from major outlets, though primarily for Law’s powerfully dark performance. In the movie Jude plays safecracker who is released from a 12-year prison sentence, and immediately reconnects with people he left behind, for better or worse. It co-stars the phenomenal Richard E. Grant, Emilia Clarke, Kerry Condon, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Jumayn Hunter, Madalina Ghenea and Demián Bichir. The poster above has actually been out there for a little while now, and after first seeing it I couldn’t wait to see the trailer. Judge for yourself by watching it below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

But Dom’s drink and drug-fuelled ego decides that what he’s lost can’t be replaced. One car accident and a femme fatale later, Dom realises that his priority must be to reconnect with his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke). But Dom does what Dom does best. He screws things up for everyone…
