Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Set over the course of one day, a narcotics detective hunts for a seemingly harmless young criminal who knows a truth about the cop’s past.”

Poster: B- / C

Review: The simple reflection is what makes the first design feel fresher. It’s simple for sure, but it says so much about the film’s potential narrative that it might be more interesting debating its meaning than the film’s. The second poster is far more traditional and thereby far less interesting. It tells us who’s in the movie, but doesn’t adequately express the film’s main theme without completely dumbing it down.

Trailer: C-

Review: Had Cory Monteith not died last year, this film’s relevance would have likely been isolated to direct-to-video forgetfulness. Yet, here we are all with wide screen release of a movie that looks drab, unmotivated and clumsy. They hint at a corruption twist that doesn’t seem that important in the grand scheme of things.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
