Review: (#1) Impossibly fresh faces, a dull white background, a speed boat, some bullet-shattered glass, and flying money. All the elements are here if only they weren’t shabbily bundled together. (#2) Almost all of the same visual elements are back, though John Travolta’s face definitely doesn’t look fresh this time out, with a slightly more pleasing color scheme. It still doesn’t look that good. (#3) A very blue design that relies too much on Travolta’s visage to sell the film and doesn’t seem to suggest the level of action the film would likely hope was conveyed.

Trailer Rating: C-

Review: Trying to go for the action element would be more compelling if the trailer didn’t lifelessly drone from scene to scene suggesting that there isn’t much genuinely exciting about it.
