There are some Oscar winners who seem to be doing their best to undermine the award. One of those, sadly, is Adrien Brody, an actor who has done a lot of great, committed work in his career but hasn't done anything on the level of 2002's The Pianist in a very long time. His latest film, American Heist, isn't likely to change that, at least not judging by the new trailer.
Starring Brody, Hayden Christensen, and Akon, a trio that surely won't inspire confidence. Brody and Christensen play brothers (ha!) living a life of crime until one takes the rap for a crime they both committed. However when he gets out of jail and is need of some quick cash, he pulls his brother, who had been walking the righteous path, back into the criminal underworld for one last job that predictably goes awry. Jordana Brewster, who may have seen her last Fast & Furious film at this point, co-stars as Christensen's girlfriend.
The film is directed by Sarik Andreasyan and opens on July 25th.
