Michael Shannon plays John Givings in Sam Mendes’ Revolutionary Road. John has been committed to an institution for psychiatric evaluation and this is the first time he is seen in the film as he is given four hours leave with his family (Kathy Bates and Richard Easton) and they have chosen to take him to meet Frank and April Wheeler (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet). The clip below is only a taste of what Shannone brings to his moments in the film so don’t worry, you aren’t spoiling anything at all by watching it, as a matter of fact this is such a small dose you still have a WHOLE LOT to look forwarad to once you see the full meal deal.
Revolutionary Road hits theaters on December 26.
