Deadline says the film “charts a professional and personal relationship between two characters that evolves from friendship to betrayal and retribution,” and that description nicely complements the original logline, which described “a man who is framed by his mentor and winds up in prison. Once released, he’s fixated on getting revenge on his former partner, who has flourished in his new life and tried to cleanse himself of the past.”
Easy to see how Farrell and Bana would be great in that pairing of roles. Off the top of my head, the basic nature of each actor means I see Bana as the lead who is framed, and Farrell as his former partner. Which immediately leads me to hope that Turner has the opposite in mind; I’d like to see Bana in the semi-antagonistic, or at least defensive role.
