The makers of this film and it predecessor certainly know a thing or two about engaging an audience. The disparate colors of night and day clashing on the film’s poster as they

He’s a funny comedian, but his films have been increasingly more irritating and this poster just accentuates that. The poster

Although the faux-painting style of the film’s leads’ images aren’t spectacular and John Cusack’s pose is a little too creepy (for supposedly being the film’s protagonist),
