Rating: None
Commentary: Poster was a placeholder at the time this post was written. 		Rating: C- / C
Commentary: It’s a teaser for a different trailer. I’m not particularly impressed. Some of the images are interesting and I much prefer Farrell to Schwarzeneggar, but I can’t get past how unnecessary such a thing is. / The trailer the teaser was teasing wasn’t terribly pleasing. Some very slipshod visual effects accompany an interesting premise with little hope for depth, especially when so much is focused on action and to little on plot. It could be an ok time-waster, but so far it doesn’t have a lot of outside promise.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: Arnie’s film received two Oscar nominations for Sound and Sound Editing and received a special achievement award for Visual Effects. I see those same categories being this film’s only opportunities.
