A Most Violent Year is another highly anticipated film of 2014, and could well be another major awards contender come the beginning of next year.

A Most Violent Year marks the return of J.C. Chandor to the director's chair for the first time since the critically acclaimed All Is Lost.

The movie sees Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain team up for the first time, and the pair feature heavily in this first trailer for the film:

Isaac and Chastain have been two stars that have been on the rise in recent years, and they look set to give two more terrific performances.

David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, and Elyes Gabel are also on board the film.

Set during the winter of 1981 - statistically one of the most crime-ridden of New York City’s history - A Most Violent Year is a drama following the lives of an immigrant and his family as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream.

However, the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.

A Most Violent Year is released 31st December.
