• Poster: B-

Review:

You have the Lincoln and you have the lawyer and you have some nice colors and that's about it.

• Trailer: C; C

Review:

Such a terrific cast for a film that looks like an absolute chore. The trailer doesn't give the audience any reason to care about the characters, which won't help it at the box office much.

The second trailer looks almost identical to the first, but certainly makes it feel more like a rudimentary thriller with a predictable outcome.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• March 18, 2011
