Zero Dark Thirty, trailer #2

Plot Summary: The inside story of the Seal team that killed Osama bin Laden.

Poster

Trailer

Rating: B-
Commentary: The first poster (a placeholder it was, I am now certain) was apparently redacted leaving an equally simple, limitedly appealing design that plays more into the "overhead view" motif they have been using frequently.
Rating: C+
Commentary: If it was possible to make an action-ish film look less exciting, they have managed to do that. The first trailer at least had a sense of tension. This trailer shows a lot of simple scenes with no emotional impact, leaving the audience confused whether they should expect a capable action film or a thought-provoking war movie or a combination of both.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: The first feature from the first female Oscar winner for Best Director will obviously be a contender if only to show naysayers that they made the right choice. I still don't think they did, but they will be lambasted if they don't nominate her again even if the film's mediocre at best.
