Poster Rating: B

Review: From a blocking perspective, the poster is fairly strong. Sandwiching the White House between he journalist and the investigator is a potent image and the positioning/look of the faces is evocative. However, overlaying the newspaper type making the image less crisp and more convoluted is a tad too distracting.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: The title’s a bit unfortunate, making it sound a bit more like a Queen Latifah comedy vehicle than a serious drama about the protection of journalistic sources. While I think it might be an interesting movie with Kate Beckinsale looking like she gives a fairly solid performance, this is the kind of movie that would do far better on the small screen.

Oscar Prospects:

Considering the above, it doesn’t seem to be in Oscar’s sights for this year.
