Age of JOAQUIN PHOENIX: Amazon thriller 'You Were Never Really Here' unveils his savage vigilantism
It seems to be the season of Joaquin Phoenix. Days after the reveal of his disturbing take on the iconic Joker, Amazon Studios announced that his movie 'You Were Never Really Here' will hit Amazon Prime Video next month.
In a Taken-meets-The Punisher kind of a set-up, a creepily disturbing Phoenix takes on the role of a vigilante - except for the fact that his brutalism and barbarian techniques have no constraints.
Starring as Joe, an ex-FBI agent, in 'You Were Never Really Here', the 43-year-old actor has not only redefined the status quo for vigilante tales but also the traditional approach towards hitman thrillers.
Phoenix's character is rogue, to say the least. He sports a grizzly silver fox look, wields a hammer for a weapon, and rescues young girls from prostitution rackets.
