The first look photo of Jenna Ortega in the upcoming crime thriller Finestkind has generated anticipation for her leading performance. The image shows Ortega aboard a fishing vessel, looking focused alongside co-star Tommy Lee Jones.
Finestkind will hold its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). In the film, Ortega takes on a complex character who gets entangled with criminals, holding her own against acclaimed actors like Jones. This gritty drama seems well-suited to showcase Ortega’s versatility.
Director Brian Helgeland brings his crime movie expertise, having made L.A. Confidential. But early buzz suggests Ortega may be the breakout performance to watch when Finestkind debuts on the TIFF stage.
Ortega has proven adept at commanding darker, offbeat roles, like in her hit series Wednesday. Now Finestkind offers her another opportunity to display her acting talent before the film streams on Paramount+.
