Review: It isn’t purely original, but it’s inventive. It’s a fine twist on the too-standard cast insets at the base of the poster. These are integrate with style and visual cohesiveness, which sets it apart from the myriad others that have tried.

Review: (#1) This seems to take a strong stance on drug addiction through the use of a fictional, too addictive new drug. The cast doesn’t seem to be charting any new territory and the premise as presented in the trailer isn’t particularly significant.
(#2) The first trailer is tense and compelling, but fell a little flat in the end. This second trailer is a train wreck from beginning to end. It is choppy, disorganized, frustrating, and utterly lacking in that spark that gets audiences to the theater.
Oscar Prospects:
None.
