Review: Chris Hemsworth plus wholly unrelated imagery that may make sense within the framework of the film, but as a preview of things to come it just isn’t that exciting.

Trailer: C

Review: From a director like Michael Mann, a trailer this uninteresting has to be a let down. Chris Hemsworth in a major dramatic role doesn’t get the level of attention he needs as the trailer focuses on an underlying element of action thrill that might appeal to those unfamiliar with the slow-boil nature of Mann’s work, but will ultimately lead to their disappointment, which is a bit unfair.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
