• Poster: D; B-

Review:

A big orange gun composed of smaller guns of various types...could it be any more unimpressive? Possibly, but I don't want them to try.

More interesting than the first poster, but still not a stellar composition. The color selection helps mellow the rest of the poster.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Oh look. It's another Jason Statham action film with limited plot, limited talent and no actual style. Even the always interesting Ben Foster, the legendary Donald Sutherland and the long-absent Tony Goldwyn can't convince me this will be a good movie.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
