If a film role calls for an intense, edgy, and sometimes psychotic demeanor, then Ray Liotta can fit that bill on any ol' day and twice on Sunday.

Check out the trailer for Liotta's latest film "Blackway," where he plays the title character, an ex-cop turned small-town drug lord who starts stalking a waitress (Julia Stiles) from his favorite dingy bar.

After being turned down for help by the local Sheriff, Lillian (Stiles) soon enlists the aid of Lester (Anthony Hopkins), a retired logger who seems to have an old axe to grind with Blackway. Arming themselves with only a couple of "curtain rods," Lillian, Lester, and Lester's young sidekick, Nate (Alexander Ludwig, of "The Hunger Games" fame) decide to take their fight out into the forest where they hope the odds will be ever in their favor.

Based on a suspense novel by Castle Freeman Jr, the film is directed by Swedish helmer Daniel Alfredson (The Girl Who Played with Fire, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken), and was written for the screen by Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs, the creators of the Amazon series "Red Oaks."

"Blackway" will be hitting select theaters and on VOD starting on June 10th.

synopsis:
A modern fable set against the rugged backdrop of a Pacific Northwest logging community, Go with Me tells the story of Lillian (Julia Stiles), a young woman newly returned to her hometown who becomes the subject of harassment by a man named Blackway (Ray Liotta), an ex-cop turned violent crimelord who operates with impunity in this small community on the edge of the wilderness. Forsaken by the local townspeople, and advised by the Sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of ex-logger Lester (Anthony Hopkins) and his laconic young sidekick Nate (Alexander Ludwig)—the only two men in town brave enough, or crazy enough, to go with her, and go up against Blackway.
