Preview: An Unreasonable Man (2007)

• Poster: B-

Review:

The poster's surprisingly well balanced for having so much information and although the column of text on the right is a daunting read, the highlighted words serve to accentuate the theme of the film. Decent work, but the film is still a tough sell.

• Trailer: B

Review:

A documentary exploring the legacy of Ralph Nader who is famously linked to the 2000 election that he pulled votes from Al Gore costing the Dems the white house. It's a doc that seems poised to paint Nader in a positive light with a few tinged comments railing against his unfortunate timing. While it may be intriguing to hear more, much of what you can see in the preview makes a case in support of Nader.

Oscar Prospects:

I can see this being a champion in this coming Documentary Feature competition. It's about politics, which has been a common factor among recent contestants and winners. The question is whether the Academy will support the film the same way it's supported Nader.
