Review: (#1, C+) Some elements of this design pick up on the noir elements referenced in the trailer, it’s a bit too clean an image to fit perfectly into that concept. The lower third is cheesy in the wrong way and the limited starscape in the background is an interesting, if oddly implemented choice. (#2, C+) Using the same color scheme as the prior design, this one is more striking but also less creatively energized.

Review: (#1, C) The brief reference to noir-in-color shows how little knowledge the trailermakers have about the genre. While there might be some film noir inspiration on display, this zany crime comedy lacks presence and ultimately looks a bit too bizarre for its own good. While farce can make for fun filmgoing, this looks more weird than fascinating.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
