Get your first look at American Solitaire, the powerful new drama from Complexity Pictures — now with its official poster and trailer ready to explore. Written and directed by Aaron Davidman, and starring Joshua Close, Gilbert Owuor, and Joanne Kelly, this gripping film arrives in theaters on April 17, 2026.

American Solitaire follows Slinger, a war veteran struggling to find footing after returning home. But as the trailer reveals, the battlefield didn’t stay overseas. Through a raw and unflinching lens, the film dives into the psychological toll of combat, examining PTSD, reintegration, and the silent burdens many veterans carry.

Davidman crafts an urgent, thought-provoking narrative that also challenges broader cultural ideas—particularly how masculinity, identity, and America’s relationship with firearms intersect in complex and often troubling ways.

This is more than a character study—it’s a conversation starter. Watch the trailer, take in the poster, and prepare for a film that asks difficult questions about strength, healing, and what it really means to come home.

Here's a look at the first trailer for American Solitaire:

“Plenty of good soldiers can't hack it. The way of the world."

Synopsis: Slinger came home from war. But the battle isn't over. AMERICAN SOLITAIRE stars Joshua Close (WAYWARD, FARGO) as a veteran unraveling in the aftermath of combat, adrift in a country that celebrates guns but has little language for the damage they leave behind. Written and directed by Aaron Davidman, the film is a raw, urgent portrait of one man's journey back to himself.
