Violence is unavoidable forOrlando Bloomin the upcoming action thrillerRed Right Hand. The latest fromFatmanhelmersIanandEshom Nelmsputs theGran Turismostar in the shoes of a man who’s drawn back into the orbit of a known criminal kingpin and forced to do her bidding to protect his family. Unsurprisingly, working with such a crooked figure means making some crooked deals and getting your hands dirty when things go south. Collider can share an exclusive clip from the upcoming film showing Bloom caught in that exact scenario and forced to start shooting when the jig is up.
The clip opens with Cash (Bloom) rolling up to attend a meeting in place of Lazarus (James Lafferty) and sell some illegal goods. Their client Dominic (Jeremy Ratchford) is none too pleased with Lazarus’s absence, calling out that it seemed surprisingly out of character for “Mr. Funtime” to not orchestrate the deal himself. Despite Cash’s assurances, Dominic’s eyes drift toward his blood-covered shoes which prove he isn’t being truthful, and he’s already paid a violent visit to someone ahead of their meeting. Guns are drawn and Cash tries to solve this with words, assuring that nobody has to die as long as they conduct business as usual. Dominic seems to agree at first, until he turns around with his own weapon and starts firing, proving that no matter what Cash does,there will bea lot of blood spilledbefore he can live a peaceful life again.
Red Right Handwillprimarily see Cash square offagainst Big Cat (Andie MacDowell), the vicious crime lord who will only promise safety for his brother-in-law and niece if he works off his debt to her. He hopes to one day live a quiet life with his remaining family, but that begins to seem impossible as he’s constantly coerced into doing more jobs. The limits of Cash’s morals will be pushed as he’s pulled deeper into this nightmare and shown the horrific acts he’s truly capable of. Like the deal gone wrong with Dominic, the only way out for Cash appears to be violence, as he’ll need to turn against Big Cat and her goons to truly be free.
