Preview: Johnny Got His Gun (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Lackluster, but fitting, the poster certainly embodies the spirit of the rather unusual theatrical performance featured in the film.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Filming live play performances has been done for years, but generally just on PBS or special regular broadcast events. This is going directly to the big screen, which is unusual, but certainly not as odd as the subject. Ben Mackenzie of the short-lived Fox series The O.C. performs a one man Dalton Trumbo play and the bizarre, prop-less performance may not be to everyone's liking.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• November 7, 2008
