FilmDistrict has released the first trailer for their crime thriller Dead Man Down, and it looks like a great and intense film! It stars Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper and Terrence Howard. This is the first English language film directed by Swedish filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev who directed Rapace in the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film trilogy. It looks like he did a solid job with this one, and the trailer shows off some really cool shots, some crazy action scenes, and a man being eaten by rats.
