Preview: The Killer Inside Me (2010)

Synopsis:

As a young deputy is tasked with getting a local prostitute to leave the city, a psychotic killer emerges threatening his life, his wife and everyone around him.

• Poster: B-

Review:

For Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck's images alone, this poster would have a terrific background, but Jessica Alba's segment is unnecessarily distracting and although the rudimentary handwriting used for the title is fitting, it still has the feeling of being manufactured.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Like the poster, the only reason the film loosk at all interesting is for Affleck and Hudson. Alba's not a very good actress, at least on the big screen, and her few scenes in the trailer doesn't dissuade that thought, but Hudson looks really good and Affleck should be outstanding.

Oscar Prospects:

Although I'm sure the film will be forgotten by the time Oscar rolls around, both Affleck and Hudson could have been contenders.
