Trailer
Rating: None
Commentary: Poster was a placeholder at the time this post was written. 		Rating: B+
Commentary: I may not be sold on the film’s Oscar chances yet, but this is a fairly substantial trailer that makes people want to see it. It has some fine actors involved, which should make for a fun time even if it isn’t that great of a film.

Oscar Chances: David O. Russell broke the glass ceiling with the Academy. Now everything he does will be considered an Oscar contender. While the trailer makes this look similar to the critically acclaimed crime dramas of the 1970’s, we’ll have to wait until critics weigh in before knowing for certain. If it is, it could be a major contender. I’m not quite sold yet.
