00:00 When I read the script, I just said,
00:01 "I need to get out there."
00:02 There's an originality to it,
00:04 which is important when you are dealing
00:06 with universal themes.
00:08 Finest Kind is essentially about the love and bond
00:11 that comes between family,
00:12 but then also loyalty and respect
00:14 and true care for one another.
00:16 It's like a beautifully effed up story
00:20 about family, lovers,
00:22 and about these two estranged brothers
00:25 that have come back together
00:26 and are trying to make that work.
00:28 Then it turns kind of crime thriller.

00:31 - Charlie!
00:31 - What happens if we get caught?
00:33 - Getting caught is not an option.
00:36 - I never should have trusted you.
00:39 I do not understand the way you're built.
00:41 - You built me.
00:43 - It's so rare that you do a film
00:47 where the director has lived the life
00:50 that you're representing.
00:51 - My grandfather was a fisherman,
00:53 my great uncle, my dad,
00:55 I think $5 billion of fish and scallops
00:58 come through New Bedford every year.
01:00 - Don't pull on it, just walk it back.
01:01 - These guys are like really, really proud
01:03 of what they do.
01:04 They get huge amounts of money in very little time.
01:07 They're really kind of living life on the edge.
01:11 - And you go bad,
01:12 you might as well go back to the bone, baby.
01:14 - Once you get out on the ocean,
01:18 you can't help but understand
01:19 it's the biggest, most powerful thing on earth.
01:22 - These are maritime cowboys,
01:24 farmers of the sea.
01:26 - Need you to take my boat out for a run.
01:28 - You're okay, pop.
01:29 - The part that I'm concerned with
01:30 has to do with the relationship
01:32 between a father and a son,
01:34 and Brian has found a way to deal with that
01:36 in an original way.
01:38 - I'm gonna need a lot of help from you today, Charlie.
01:40 - Oh yeah?
01:41 - You're gonna have to do just what I ask you to.
01:43 I really love Mabel and Charlie together
01:45 because they're both kind of in the same place in life
01:48 where they're trying to get somewhere else.
01:50 - I like trusting you, Charlie.
01:51 - Charlie wants to get into this world
01:53 and she wants to get out of it.
01:54 - They have resources.
01:55 They want to do business.
01:56 - As soon as this stuff with the drug syndicate,
01:58 the stakes become super high.
02:00 - There's no place to hide, really,
02:02 and all these emotions and everything come to a head.
02:05 - She set us up.
02:06 - How you doing?
02:08 - Oh my!
02:10 - Whoa!
02:11 - You know what line you're crossing right now.
