Milla Jovovich Eludes Evil Pierce Brosnan in 'Survivor' Trailer

It's not all heroics for Pierce Brosnan on the big screen. Case in point: He’s trying (and failing) to kill Milla Jovovich in Survivor, as seen in the action thriller’s first trailer, above.

In a rare villainous role, Brosnan plays an assassin tasked with eliminating a Foreign Service officer (Jovovich) after framing her for a terrorist bombing in London. The thing is, she’s a squirrely one, successful at evading capture and bent on stopping the much deadlier plan of the real perpetrators.

Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta,2005), and also starring Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett, and Robert Forster, Survivor arrives in theaters and on demand May 29.
