Jenna Ortega and Tommy Lee Jones Navigate Turbulent Waters in the Debut Trailer for 'Finestkind'

The Big Picture

Finestkind features a star-studded cast, including Tommy Lee Jones and Jenna Ortega, in a gripping drama about a family caught up in a dangerous money-making scheme.

The Finestkind trailer presents captivating performances, gripping moments, and a compelling screenplay from director Brian Helgeland. This has generated high anticipation among viewers who are eagerly awaiting its release on December 15.

Distinguishing itself from other films featuring such remarkable talent, Finestkind will forgo a traditional theatrical debut and instead make its premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on December 15. This unique approach grants subscribers the opportunity to enjoy the exhilarating film from the convenience of their own homes.

The cast of Finestkind looks incredibly impressive in the official trailer for the Paramount+ film, set to release on December 15. With renowned actors such as Tommy Lee Jones, Jenna Ortega, Ben Foster, and Toby Wallace, this gripping drama tells the story of a family who find themselves in a dire situation after getting involved in a risky money-making scheme that goes terribly wrong.

Ray Eldridge, played by Tommy Lee Jones, entrusts his sons, Tom and Charlie, portrayed by Ben Foster and Toby Wallace, to take the family's fishing boat out to sea for a significant catch. However, their plans take a devastating turn when the ship is seized by the coast guard for illegally venturing into Canadian waters. As if their father's disappointment wasn't enough, the brothers feel the weight of guilt when faced with a hefty fine. But their luck changes when Charlie meets Mabel, a young woman who claims she can help them out of their predicament.

However, their involvement with Mabel comes with a dangerous price as they become entangled with a ruthless Boston gang who seek to recruit them into the drug trade. With stellar performances, intense moments, and a gripping script by director Brian Helgeland, the trailer for Finestkind will leave viewers on the edge of their seats eagerly awaiting its release.

Known for his work behind highly regarded and award-winning productions like LA Confidential and Mystic River, Finestkind represents the latest creative venture from the imaginative mind of Helgeland. Although adding Jones to the captain's log was a laborious task, and Ortega had yet to reach its current world-dominating status, the filmmaker was able to bring together an exceptional ensemble cast. In addition to its four main actors, Finestkind also showcases the talents of Ismael Cruz Cordova (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Scotty Tovar (Empire), Aaron Stanford (X-Men: The Last Stand), Tim Daly (The Sopranos), Clayne Crawford (Rectify), and Lolita Davidovich (Jungle 2 Jungle).
