Leo Woodall’s near-perfect crime thriller with “unique twist” gets excellent trailer

Actor Leo Woodall had a successful 2023 with the release of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Nuremberg, and it looks like 2024 will be just as good. The first trailer for his new film, Tuner, has just been released and it looks fantastic.

I’m seriously blown away by this new crime thriller! It’s currently got a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it the best-reviewed movie director James Woodall has ever made. It had its first showing at the Telluride Film Festival back in September, and then it was the surprise film at the BFI London Film Festival last year – a total treat if you were there!

Niki is a talented piano tuner whose dreams of being a musician faded. Now, he works alongside his mentor, Harry, throughout New York City. However, Niki’s incredibly sensitive hearing catches the attention of criminals who believe he has a knack for opening safes, just like he does with tuning pianos.

The film Tuner is directed by Academy Award winner Daniel Roher, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Robert Ramsey. The movie features performances by Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.

Early reviews of Tuner are highlighting Leo Woodall’s “quietly compelling” performance. The Wall Street Journal calls him one of today’s most charismatic young actors, suggesting the film solidifies his rising star status.

ScreenRant called Tuner a thrilling and emotionally resonant heist film with a clever new angle, highlighting Leo Woodall’s exceptional performance.

According to IndieWire, the movie is lighthearted and fun, never taking itself too seriously. This makes it an enjoyable experience, whether it’s through the witty banter between the actors Hoffman, Woodall, and Liu, or the film’s quick and energetic transitions between scenes.
