On paper, a mysterious psychological thriller written and directed by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, starring Academy Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in the lead roles with support from Oscar nominees Diane Lane and Djimon Honsou, is enough to pique your curiosity.
Throw in a plot that follows a fishing boat captain who finds his life turned upside down when his ex-wife shows up on the scene desperate for help, asking him to murder her abusive new husband to protect her and the son they share, and Serenity sounds like the sort of promising adult-skewing genre film that Hollywood doesn’t really tend to make anymore.
