Preview: King of California (2007)

• Poster: C+; C+

Review:

The posters are meant to be paired and although they share the same "golden" hue to match the film's story, there's little of intrinsic value. Both actors do their best giving character-centered performances on the posters, but there's no depth or originality to either design.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

The trailer looks like every typical comic treasure hunt film ever made. Douglas looks interesting but hardly worth much attention. We could be surprised by a fantastic film, but by the look of this trailer, I'm very doubtful.

Oscar Prospects:

One of the critic quotes listed in the trailer is one suggesting an Oscar nomination for Michael Douglas. The trailer looks a bit too much like his father's Diamonds to be a contender.

Release Date:

• September 14, 2007
