I just can't with this movie. I mean, this looks atrocious. The trailer was bad enough, but these posters are just a giant epic fail. The tagline makes this feel like a Presidential 'Forrest Gump', and we need another one of those movies like a fucking hole in the head. Whitaker looks like a joke here, and the combination of faux sentimental schmaltz and awkward black power movement in this pair of shameful posters just makes everything about this film feel so...gross. I hope to god this fails miserably to do what it is so unashamed to declare it wants; gain Oscar traction. This is bound to be a mess, I just hope it's a borderline entertaining one. Either that, or I pray that it receives no awards attention so that I'm not compelled to actually see it.
