Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A mysterious outsider’s quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Proving himself an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family.”

Poster: B / B

Review: Two completely different designs that hit the same level of artistic integrity despite their differences. Neither is obviously brilliant, but each have their benefits. The first employs the titular color with simplicity alongside a subtle evocation of the film’s themes. The second shatters the psyche of the title character while using the coolness of the title hue to symbolize his challenges.

Trailer: B

Review: Normally, trailers that do so much jumping around and quick cutting would merit a quick disqualification. There’s still some intrigue left in the trailer, which may ultimately reward with its escalating tension.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
