Poster Rating: C / C-

Review: (#1) There’s an awkwardness to this poster that is a lot more genuine than a lot of posed designs around. Unfortunately, there’s really not much more to this design. (#2) This is a much more hopeful design, but it strikes one as hitting a false note, especially when looking at the content of the trailer.

Trailer Rating: B / C

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) The first trailer is a tempting and fascinating turn that suggests one type of movie and then maneuvers it to another kind. It’s well done for a teaser. (#2) On the other hand, the second trailer paints a more commonplace portrait of the film wherein drug addiction, crime, and recrimination play an equally unoriginal part of the proceedings.

Oscar Prospects:

Julia Roberts is receiving minor buzz for her role in this film, but the film itself doesn’t seem to be getting much attention otherwise.
