Trailer analysis
The trailer for Cold Wallet offers a sneak peek at what is to come. At the beginning of the video, there is a news report, which discusses the steep decline of the fast-growing cryptocurrency exchange that initially promised big profits.
Things go bad when customers cannot retrieve their money. Viewers find out that Charles Hegel, the CEO of the exchange, has faked his own death. This makes a group of investors angry because they want their stolen money back.
Things get more tense as Billy, Eva, and Dom make plans to break into Charles's mansion, where he is hiding with the cold wallet that holds the stolen crypto assets. The trailer shows the three of them getting ready for the break-in.
Based on the trailer, it seems as though the characters entering the mansion would be in risk. Charles is a master manipulator trying to turn everyone in the group against each other.
There is a scene in the trailer where the people have to deal with the moral fallout of their actions. Along with strong scenes of conflict and betrayal, the characters battle with their emotions and decisions as things deteriorate.
The trailer sets the mood for a high-stakes crime thriller, as fans can expect to see how the characters handle the mission's many turns.
Cold Wallet will be available in theatres starting February 28, 2025.
