‘Before We Go’ Trailer: Stranded Alice Eve Meets Super-Nice Guy Chris Evans
Chris Evansput down his shield for a while in December 2013 to direct his first feature, and you can now see the results of his efforts via theBefore We Gotrailer. The film stars Evans andAlice Eveas a pair of people who come together in Manhattan when Eve’s character deals with the theft of her purse, and nice guy Chris Evans comes gently to the rescue.
You might wonder if romance blossoms between the two, and given that the stars are Eve and Evans, you probably don’t even need to watch the trailer to figure that out. If you’re eager to see what Evans does when he’s not suited up as Captain America, check out theBefore We Gotrailer below.
That looks pleasant enough, and it’s nice to see Evans outside of the superhero outfits and big-ticket effects. But does it work?
Before We Gopremiered at Toronto last year, and reviews weren’t super-enthusiastic, knocking it for failing to measure up to the seemingly obvious influence of films likeBefore Sunrise. “Lukewarm” is a word that shows up in more than one review;Varietycalled it “a tepid homage (in title and form) to Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy’s “Before” trilogy” whileThe Playlistreferred to it as a “strained romantic drama.”
But we’ll give Evans credit for putting something out there that is totally different from the material he’s used to cultivate the bulk of his fanbase, and see the film for ourselves when we get the chance.
And that chance comes soon:Before We Gowill be on VOD beginning tomorrow, July 21. It opens in select theaters September 4. Trailer viaYahoo.
A chance encounter between two strangers (Chris Evans, Alice Eve) in Grand Central Terminal sparks a life-changing, nighttime sojourn through New York City.
