James Gray's new film Paper Tiger is a slow-burning mob thriller that replaces traditional shootouts with intense family drama.
Set in 1986 New York, the story follows brothers Irwin and Gary Pearl, played by Miles Teller and Adam Driver, whose construction venture inadvertently draws them into a conflict with the Russian mob.
The film opened in theaters yesterday, and its muted tone, 35mm cinematography, and breathtaking final shootout give it a distinctive, emotionally resonant style.
