Poster

Trailer

Rating: C
Commentary: It shows off the star of the film, but doesn’t do much beyond that. It tries to evoke the style and feel of the film and only manages to partly succeed.
Rating: B+
Commentary: The stars alone should make an envious audience take notice, but the film manages to display a traditional mob killer/revenge drama without seeming generic.

Oscar Chances: Once again, Michael Shannon will be talked about as a possible Oscar nominee. Releasing in May will keep him fresher in voters’ minds, but the film HAS to be a hit with critics to be taken seriously as a contender and if it is, we could be looking at a stronger overall competitor for the Oscars.
