Preview: In the Pit (2007)

• Poster: C-

Review:

The posters as uninteresting as the preview. Outside of the plaudits posted at the top, it's impossible to really get a sense of the film's subject and the colors are so washed out and unapproachable, that there aren't many who'll be drawn to the film because of it.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Why they make trailers for documentaries, I don't understand but this one about bridge construction workers in mexico gives little information about the incidents, and plenty about the men working on the job. Not a very enticing preview.

Oscar Prospects:

The Documentary Feature category is often filled with poignant stories of triumph over adversity. This film doesn't have that kind of vibe to it and won't likely receive a nomination.

Release Date:

• February 2, 2007
