Ray Donovan Movie
The wait was finally over when fans finally received a conclusion on the Ray Donovan saga with Ray Donovan: The Movie. After the news of the cancellation of the Ray Donovan series, almost two years after Showtime discontinued the iconic crime drama series with an amazing movie which was yet again another success.
The news was to everybody’s surprise when they came, the network canceled the series after the 7th and final season in 2020 and the abrupt finale along with the storyline signaled that they were actually planning for Ray Donovan Season 8. In order to correct this, the creators agreed to introduce back the Donovan family to finish their tale in a movie.
In the movie, Ray Donovan is on the hunt for his father, Micky Donovan, who is missing in the wind, and Ray must track him down and prevent him from committing any additional harm. What we liked the most about the movie was the past and present were intertwined throughout the plot, and you could see the indications of the past-future scenario, creating one complicated storyline.
On November 22, 2021, Showtime published the official trailer for Ray Donovan The Movie which provided us with a glimpse of the movie, along with a promotional poster. Watch the trailer of the Ray Donovan movie here:
The cast of Ray Donovan
We saw Ray Donovan’s original cast members return to reprise their roles in the movie, so the actors who are listed here can also be seen in the series. As expected, Liev Schreiber played the title character Ray Donovan, and Jon Voight, who plays Mickey Donovan, was still seen as the worst dad ever.
Aside from these two main characters that we were accustomed to seeing in the show, the film’s cast includes Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, Katherine Moennig, Kerry Condon, Josh Hamilton, Alyssa Diaz, Graham Rogers, and David Patrick Kelly.
In the movie, Ray works as a professional fixer, which is a very demanding job since he does all of the dirty work for his wealthy and famous customers who are not very decent beings. He loves and cares about his home, unlike his father, and this aspect is what makes us love him even more. He also has a tremendous sense of duty for his children and brothers, and you can see Ray always being extra protective of them.
