See Ryan Gosling In Only God Forgives Trailer

Less than 24 hours after the poster for Ryan Gosling's new movie was unleashed on the world, comes the first look at the star in action in the film.

The trailer for Only God Forgives - which is helmed by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn - opens with a few snippets of dialogue between Gosling and his on-screen mother Kristin Scott Thomas, before moving onto an array of violent action sequences - and finishing with Gosling putting up his dukes.

The Hollywood hunk stars as a British man on the run from the law in Bangkok - running a Thai boxing club as a front for a drug-smuggling business.

It was revealed today that the movie will get its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
