Preview: Diggers (2007)

• Poster: B-

Review:

Much more interesting than the trailer, the poster is at least eye-catching, though it seems a bit too much like one that might grace the wall of a theater for a Western. If it weren't for the boat in the lower third of the poster, that's just what impression the audience might incorrectly get.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

What a terrible title. They try to assuage the audience by hinting at its meaning in the trailer, but it is to little avail. The preview isn't terribly good to look at. The scenes are dreary and the framing isn't terribly great. If this is what the rest of the film is going to look like, I definitely don't want to see it.

Oscar Prospects:

The title alone will kill the film's chances. There are no mega-watt stars that can carry the film to Academy voters and critics aren't likely to bite.

Release Date:
