Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A successful construction manager’s life is drastically changed by a series of phone calls while he drives.”

Poster: C+ / B-

Review: You do get the entire premise on the poster since this is little more than a film taking place in a single moving automobile. Yet, it still feels unnecessarily bland. The second design is a bit more interesting in how it uses the critics quotes, but that’s not a supreme improvement.

Trailer: C

Review: At least with Buried, they made the single-POV element seem tense and exciting. Here, they make it look uninteresting in spite of heaps or praise they make a point of highlighting.

Oscar Prospects:

It’s possible that Tom Hardy could be in the hunt for his first Oscar nomination, but all the praise in the world won’t necessarily make it so. The Academy may see this film as more of a gimmick than an actual movie.

Revisions:
