Preview: Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)

Synopsis:

An man seeks revenge against the person who shot his brother more than twenty years earlier after he is given the opportunity.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Can you imagine this poster full-size on a building side or in a display case. These aren't the most attractive men and seeing only half of their faces, and Liam Neeson not being nearly as recognizeable as he should be, you can imagine that this isn't going to accomplish much of anything.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

I'm sure there's a psychological aspect of this film that may be more intriguing than what is prsented, but this trailer is a hodge podge of images cut precariously together to resemble something of a trailer without a good explanation of the plot as anything more than a simplistic revenge thriller.

Oscar Prospects:

Unless this is a smashingly good film that critics adore, I don't foresee it earning Oscar glory.

Release Date:
