'Charlie Countryman' Has It

The movie might not work but this trailer (and the posters) are excellent. This sizzles. The color balance is crisp -- warm but with a blue shift (if that's possible), not too saturated, intense yet easy to look at, and conveys the vibe of the plot well.

Shia LaBeouf fits into this character well. He's a good choice and, while I'm not a fan, I can see following his portrayal of this guy through this story.

Rupert Grint looks good. He's got chops and doesn't seem like he'll do a fast fade after the Potter movies.

And, Mads Mikkelsen. How good is this guy. Love watching him. He scares me. Not too often an actor playing a scary type can actually make that work without pouring it on. Mads' bad guy is silky smooth and you believe he could hurt you, has hurt people.

Evan Rachel Wood carries her part. There's something under the surface with her.

'Charlie Countryman' (I so don't get that title) looks like a lot of fun. I might even buy this one.
