Preview: Chasing Madoff (2011)

Synopsis:

• Poster: C+

Review:

Unless you're intimately familiar with the story, a lot of the words in the title don't mean much to you, which may not be the best selling tool.

• Trailer: A

Review:

This was a smashingly good trailer. It has cinematic style and draws the audience in. Without giving away the store, it makes you want to know more about this crook and how he was brought down along with all the corruption that so long protected him.

Oscar Prospects:

I'd say it's not only a strong contender for a nomination, but it may well be the one to beat for the Oscar.

Release Date:

• August 26, 2011
