It doesn’t matter how far Jennifer Coolidge gets away from White Lotus, she still finds herself in the world of criminals. She shows up next in Dito Montiel’s dark comedy Riff Raff, starring alongside Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Pete Davidson, Lewis Pullman, and Bill Murray. Not too shabby.
The film stars Harris as a former mobster whose peaceful life is disrupted when his ex-wife and estranged family show up to warn him that two criminals from his past are out to get him.
There’s so much star power in Riff Raff that it’s not focused on Davidson and Murray as famed gangsters. Those two could carry a movie together easily. We’re also treated to the unusual sight of Harris and Union as a couple. Never thought I’d see that. As usual, it looks like it’ll be Coolidge who steals the show.
Also in the cast are Michael Covino, Miles J. Harvey, Emanuela Postacchini, and PJ Byrne.
Montiel has never had a problem gathering impressive talent for his films. He’s the director behind A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Fighting, The Son of No One, Empire State, and many more.
SYNOPSIS: Oscar nominees Bill Murray and Ed Harris star alongside Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge and Pete Davidson in this darkly comic crime thriller about how far you’ll go to protect the ones you love. Vincent (Harris) and his family plan to share a quiet New Year’s Eve together until his sketchy past catches up with him and the night reveals secrets no one could ever imagine. Gabrielle Union and Emmy nominee Lewis Pullman also star.
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will release Riff Raff on digital and VOD on March 21st.
