Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 4:48PM Trailer - Hugo Weaving in 'The Last Ride'
You don't see a lot of Hugo Weaving in leading roles. The classy thing to do is to call him a "character actor," but he's got as much talent as leading men that also fit that description. But he has primarily been stuck in supporting roles in big movies, not that he isn't great in them; think Agent Smith from the Matrix series, or Elrond from Lord of the Rings. His highest profile leading role is probably as V in V for Vendetta, and of course, you don't see him.

And while The Last Ride is not a big budget Hollywood movie, it does feature Weaving front and center, and for that reason alone, it should be of interest to you. He plays a father on the run from the law, and at the beginning of his journey across the Australian countryside, picks up his young son for, well, one last ride.
Take a look at the first trailer:
