Poster Rating: B-

Review: I don’t quite understand the choice here other than to highlight the film’s star. And while it’s stylish in certain regards, it isn’t very fitting.

Trailer Rating: A-

Review: This looks like an exceptional film. Malkovich looks like he’s giving the performance of his career and Angelina Jolie looks better than she has in ages, giving a much more controlled performance than A Mighty Heart.

Oscar Prospects:

Having read about Clint Eastwood’s other 2008 Oscar entry, this one certainly looks like it’s going to be a winner. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it pick up nods for Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Editing, Cinematography, Art Direction and Costume Design.

Release Date:

October 24, 2008

Synopsis:

Anchored by a fearless performance by Angelina Jolie, this film is an intriguing mystery about a woman plagued by her son’s disappearance and the mysterious boy who comes forward to replace him.
