Today's Sundance "trailer of the day" is for a tight thriller starring an actor who's about to be a very big name.
In director Yann Demarge's Irish thriller "'71," Jack O'Connell stars as a young British soldier on his first assignment: In Belfast, during "The Troubles." After a skirmish on the streets, the soldier is left behind by his unit, and he must survive a night on the Belfast streets, alone and hunted.
If you recognize O'Connell, it's because you've seen him in the commercials for Angelina Jolie's prisoner-of-war survival drama "Unbroken," which opens in theaters everywhere on Christmas Day.
"'71," which has already been released in the U.K., will screen in the Spotlight section of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
