Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A dispossessed, violent man’s life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.”

Poster: C+ / C-

Review: Part of me wants to give the second design the higher grade, simply because it’s not the razor-sharp jagged cutting of the first design. However, the second design just doesn’t scream “watch me.” It may scream “slightly creepy,” but that’s not enough.

Trailer: C+

Review: Positioning this film as a tantalizing thriller is tough and there are some interesting ideas here, but they are jumbled together a little to jarringly, diverting the audience from trying to get a grip on the action and the reason they should want to give the film time.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
