Review: (#1, C+) The low angle creates a bit of energy, as do the gun and hammer. Unfortunately, that overbearing title does nothing for the design. It draws the attention to the bottom with Jason Statham but it feels a bit like a cheap ploy rather than a compelling design tweak.

(#2, C) There was a time when Dolby had some of the most interesting designs but they’ve been staggering towards the unimpressive IMAX motifs rather than in a more compelling direction. This has the empty background working against it. (#3, C+) Although this D-Box design has a lack of color density allowing the titling to overwhelm, at least we get the horrific cement burial getting front-facing attention. Still, it only sells the audience the wrong impression of this being a horror film rather than an action picture. (#4, C) This series of format designs share a common theme, which is sometimes nice to see but like the one for Dolby, this one lacks background detail or importance.

Review: (#1, C) A generic action thriller that blends all of Statham’s oeuvre with a workmanlike veneer. It’s probably the perfect trailer to entice Statham’s myriad fans. It’s also unfortunately derivative. There’s little to suggest something more than perfunctory action vibes.

(#2, C+) If you weren’t impressed with the action violence in the first trailer, maybe you’ll be more excited about the added bloody elements in this red-band trailer. The premise is better explained and some of the action is interesting but the suspension of disbelief is inhibited more readily.

(#3, C) There doesn’t feel like more action nor more world building. It feels like the producers were just trying to throw anything mismatched at the wall and hope something sticks.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
