Looking for buyers at the Cannes market, the Peter Five Eight filmmakers released the first footage of the film after it was recently announced to be debuting at the prestigious festival. Spacey, the antagonist in the film, plays a rather violent and disturbed individual who’s not too far off from the serial killer he plays in Seven. You can see what we mean by watching the trailer below.
The tagline for the film used for its marketing is, “The Guilty Always Pay the Price.” You can read the official synopsis below.

After garnering acclaim for his various big and small screen roles, Spacey came under fire in 2017 when he was leveled with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. The negative press led to his firing from the Netflix series House of Cards and presumably lessened the amount of movie offers coming from Hollywood producers. Spacey has denied that he ever forced himself on anyone and the actor has never been found guilty in a court of law. He has posted bizarre videos online of himself in character as his House of Cards character before returning to acting with the Italian film The Man Who Drew God.
