Review: (#1) Nothing interesting or exciting here as it’s not new, inventive or different. What exactly is the purpose of this kind of overly simplified design? (#2) A diversion from the other designs released for this film. It doesn’t have a lot of distinctive colors or images, but it’s a step above everything else.

(#3) This is a closer-up version of the first design with the colors enhanced and richer. (#4-#7) Taking the color saturation of the third design and pulling back the camera a bit, these character posters are only a slight improvement, but are rather unnecessary.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: The trailer goes out of its way to suggest this is some Birdman-esque achievement that you have to see to believe. Perhaps it is, but the trailer plays like a straight forward heist / crime film, neither of which feel compelling enough to bring a broader audience to the cinema.
