Preview: Puncture (2011)

Synopsis:

A budding lawyer and drug addict decides to take on a sleazy pharmaceutical company, but must face down his own demons and keep them from sinking his career and the case.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The element of the poster that redeems it here is the hypodermic casually held in Chris Evans' hand. If you've seen the trailer, you understand it has multiple meanings, which gives the poster a bit of weight. And keeping the recognizable Evans front and center increases the chances the film will earn a bit of money at the box office.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Seeing Evans stretch himself as an actor after his big splash in this summer's Captain America is a great thing. The film has to be good to give him any gravitas, but right now, it may hurt rather than hinder the film's chances.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
