Must-See 'Charlie Countryman' Trailer

First, to say this is red band is an understatement. So, now you know.

Second, I have to say, I can't not say it -- Shia LaBeouf is excellent here.

Of course, Mads Mikkelsen is good. Of course. Evan Rachel Wood carries each second.

Reviews are very sharp and they come from some pretty cool people who know what they're talking about. 'Charlie Countryman' might be a great movie. It's certainly a cinematic event. Director Fredrik Bond looks to have arrived.

'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.

I Just Got Through Complaining. Just

Well, that's the way it works. I just got through complaining about how domestic trailers and posters for Hollywood movies are almost never as good as their foreign/international counterparts and we get this watercolor beauty for 'The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman'.

Love Mads Mikkelsen -- in the right role he oozes menace and intelligence -- and looking forward to seeing Rupert Grint.

Poster is very nice and, well, very Euro. Really, it's better, more enjoyable, than most movies.
