After taking on the role of a talking corpse alongside Paul Dano in Swiss Army Man, and starring in Now You See Me 2, Daniel Radcliffe is back on the big screen in the new FBI thriller, Imperium. For those who still look at Daniel Radcliffe and think of the "boy who lived," his recent films will definitely challenge that perception, and this film is no different.
Imperium follows Nate Foster (Daniel Radcliffe), a young FBI agent who must infiltrate a neo-Nazi terrorist group and try to bring them down. As anyone might expect, in order to accomplish this, Foster must become one of them. Foster has to undergo the struggle of remaining true to his country and his principles while he moves through this domestic terrorist organization.
This trailer does a very good job of building tension and making you think about what the main character has to face. Also, they did a fantastic job of showing just enough of the plot and the tone, but not spoiling any key moments, unlike many trailers these days. This film, just like American History X starring Edward Norton, has the potential to have some very uncomfortable scenes since the subject matter itself is uncomfortable. Overall, the trailer did a very good job of grabbing the audience right from the beginning, sustaining that initial grab for the duration of the trailer, and they ended it perfectly. The main goal of this trailer should aim to have the viewer ask themselves one question: does he blow his cover? I think this trailer will have people talking pretty positively about this film.
Alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Imperium stars Toni Collette (Fright Night, The Sixth Sense), Tracy Letts, Nestor Carbonell (The Dark Knight, Bates Motel), Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises, Pacific Rim), and Sam Trammell (True Blood, The Fault in Our Stars).
Directed and written by Daniel Ragussis, alongside Michael German, the FBI agent whose experiences this film is based on, and produced by Ty Walker, Dennis Lee and Simon Taufique.
Imperium is slated for release on August 19th in theaters and On Demand.
