Outside of displaying the principleactors of the film, this poster does absolutely nothing else.
Anthony Hopkins hasn't done much good work in a number of years. Here, his role is too similar to that of Hannibal Lecter. However, the rising star Ryan Gosling should prove to be an engaging point of interest for many audiences. Whether the film lives up to expectations is unlikely, but will remain to be seen.
Oscar won't give this film more than a cursory glance. Though past nominees are featured, it is unlikely that name recognition alone will carry this thriller to the Kodak podium.
I have not seen this film.
