As the sci-fi drama "High-Rise" begins a limited run in theaters in the U.S., here are a new trailer, six clips, a featurette and some new images and posters.
The film has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. As an adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel it may not work so well, but it's still efficient in its exploration of socioeconomic themes and has a great cast to help it along when all else fails.
Directed by Ben Wheatley ("Kill List"), the film stars Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, Elisabeth Moss, James Purefoy and Sienna Guillory

Official Synopsis
"The new film from acclaimed director Ben Wheatley in UK cinemas March 18th. Adapted from J.G.

As he struggles to establish his position, Laing’s good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the lifts fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea. Only much later, as he sits on his balcony eating the architect’s dog, does Dr. Robert Laing finally feel at home….."
