Blake Lively Kicks Ass in First “The Rhythm Station” Trailer

Blake Lively has been diversifying her portfolio over the last several years and I am absolutely loving it.

Her latest film, Reed Moran’s The Rhythm Section, sees the actress star as Stephanie Patrick, a revenge seeking woman who is out for vengeance on those who orchestrated a plane crash that stole her family from her.

The new trailer provides a solid look at the film, positioning Lively in several action sequences that depict a high octane thrill ride, complete with MMA style fight sequences that shed Lively’s innocent outer layer and reveal a strong and determined female protagonist.

“I’ve got nothing to lose,” Lively’s Patrick states. Two minutes later, I fully believe her.

Backed by Janel Drewis’ creepy and airy “In the Pines (Where Did You Sleep Last Night),” the film screams inspiration from The Bourne Identity series, and we are not complaining.

Co-starring Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown, The Rhythm Station is set to hit theaters on January 31.

About Stephen Davis

I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
