Review: (#1) The trailer is cut in such a way as to downplay the White Savior elements of this premise. By highlighting the black character’s attempts to redefine himself on his own, it almost succeeds in differentiating itself, but the end result is just as middling as The Blind Side and its ilk.

(#2) Dialing back the sense of White Savior the first trailer presented, the second doesn’t do much better in highlighting the lead character’s plight and setting expectations of being a potent, motivating tale.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
