The trailer for the upcoming film is nothing short of fascinating. It starts with Joel Kinnaman as a man driving a car to a hospital. Suddenly, another man clad in red (Cage) enters the back seat and points a loaded gun at Joel's character. The helpless driver is baffled and has no other choice but to listen since he has a wife and child and doesn't want to die.

It is then gradually revealed that Nicholas Cage's character is extremely psychotic and unstable. He doesn't think twice before pulling the trigger and hates it when someone interrupts him when he is speaking. He is very dangerous - something that the car's driver experiences first-hand when the passenger shoots and kills a cop.
