Review: (#1) If you’ve seen the trailer, this design is a bit of a cheat and one that’s not particularly well designed. (#2) There’s a lot of blank space here and that’s not great, though the remaining imagery is solid. (#3) The colors are nice and the structure is fine; however, the backdrop is dull. (#4) Like the third design, but a mediocre color scheme is a detriment.

(#5-#7) Three targeted character posters that have some unique details, but feel very uniform and bland. (#8) The blue-and-white motif of these posters is a dull combination that doesn’t make the film look terribly exciting.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: The Liam Neeson seeks revenge film is a genre unto itself and this trailer doesn’t do a lot to make things seem different than usual, but does just enough to entice the audience.
