The trailer has been released for "Mojave," starring Oscar Issac.

Isaac is having quite a year. Not only is he starring in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the upcoming "X-Men," but he is the star of a few A24 films in 2015. Earlier this year, his charisma lit up "Ex-Machina," and he is slated to do the same in the upcoming "Mojave."

"Mojave" follows the story of two men at odds with one another after a violent meeting in the desert. Garrett Hedlund plays the lead role of a man running away from his worst enemy, played by Isaac.

The trailer is not afraid to hide the fact that the film is an action-packed and violent affair. Both men will be knocking each other about.

The film is directed by William Monahan, who is best known for writing the Oscar-winning "The Departed" and "The Gambler" with Mark Wahlberg. He previously directed "London Boulevard," which starred Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell. "Mojave" marks his second feature film as a director.

Isaac is one of the most in-demand actors at the moment. "Mojave" marks his third film with A24 in two years. Aside from his work in "Ex-Machina," he also appeared in "A Most Violent Year" last winter, for which he earned the award for Best Actor from the National Board of Review.

He will play the villainous Apocalypse in the upcoming "X-Men" movie, and he is also filming "The Promise," a film directed by Terry George. "The Promise" also features Christian Bale, Jean Reno and James Cromwell, among others.

Hedlund starred alongside Isaac in Joel and Ethan Coen's "Inside Llewyn Davis." He is also well known for his work in "Tron: Legacy." He played the role of Hook in the recent "Pan" movie and also starred in Angelina Jolie-Pitt's "Unbroken."

"Mojave" premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April and is slated for theatrical release on Jan. 8, 2016.
