Bastille Day UK Trailer. James Watkins, Jill Gagé‘s Bastille Day (2016) international movie trailer stars Idris Elba, Richard Madden, Kelly Reilly, Charlotte Le Bon, and Alexander Cooper. Bastille Day‘s plot synopsis: “Michael Mason (Richard Madden, Game Of Thrones) is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself in the hands of the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar (Idris Elba, Avengers: Age Of Ultron), the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale criminal conspiracy in the heart of the police force.

Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24hr chase ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.”

I was surprised by this trailer (I didn’t read the synopsis, I just watched the trailer). A pick-pocket and a CIA are an unlikely duo, almost comic, but it seems to work in this film.

The trailer can’t hide the film’s generic overtones but the same could have been said for action gem Taken.

Bastille Day also stars Anatol Yusef, Daniel Westwood, José Garcia, Tony Paul West, Jorge Leon Martinez, Eriq Ebouaney, Laura Hydari, Michael Haydon, Alex Martin, and Gjevat Kelmendi.
