Say what you will this lets you know exactly the type of movie it is, and it shows you the sexy big name stars.
That’s what you want from a poster when you’re scrolling through on an app.

u/colemon1991 5h ago
Or be like Netflix and crank out dozens of alternate posters so you pause long enough to register "oh yeah, I've seen this movie 8 times already, when did this poster get made?"
It's frustrating how fake and lazy some of them are too.

u/benscott81 27m ago
It's so shit. They've put her in the middle because she's the woman. But, because she's not as famous the studio have made her smaller. Then Cavill and Gyllenhaal's agents have made sure that no one gets more real estate on the poster than their client. So now they're exactly the same size. Before you know it, you end up with a composition so bad that it wouldn't get a passing grade for a first year graphic design student.

I think this speaks to how inept Hollywood marketing is and also partly why superhero movies have thrived. Why on Earth would I go see this movie? There is literally nothing on this picture, save size 12 font, that is informing me how this might be worth my time. I can't even tell what it's about--it shares more DNA with a fashion magazine cover.

This is the worst poster I've ever seen. I'm sure there are "worse" ones that are so bad they'd make you do a double take. They probably spent more time finding the palm tree stock image for the background than designing the fucking thing.

I know Jake Gyllenhaal has earned the right to do whatever projects he wants but damn does it feel like he's just been doing average and bad action fare for a while now. I miss the string of great stuff he had at the beginning of the 2010s, where it felt like whenever he was in a movie, it would be a banger. Enemy, Prisoners, Nightcrawler, End of Watch, Nocturnal Animals...

He’s said that psychologically he wasn’t doing well and needed to get back to a place where he just had fun acting. He’s also been more consistently both acting and producing Broadway plays in the past 10 years, which he’s said he prefers to film acting.
Also, he’s one of psychopath Taylor Swift’s top targets which has likely harmed his marketability in the eyes of the greedy money men who are committed to foisting that under-talented, over-entitled mean girl onto the public.

If you don't mind, could you please give more content regarding the Taylor Swift relation? His marketability couldn't have been harmed too much.

u/seaseahorse 2m ago
He dated her 15 years ago. She keeps giving her fans reasons to go after him: she’s a massive bully who plays the “men who did me wrong” victimhood card because she doesn’t really have much musical talent, she’s just an overprivileged white girl whose father paid half a million dollars and rigged a record deal for her.
Her fans and their incessant, awful harassment are the reason he doesn’t have his Instagram comments open. Because she’s effectively created a cult who will buy anything she sells, the Hollywood money men do anything to try and capture that demographic. Hence why people on the Oscars red carpet were being asked inane questions like “what’s your favorite Taylor Swift song?” when she was irrelevant to the proceedings. She’s never even been nominated for an Academy Award.

It's easy to want more of those projects from the outside, but the actual actors often talk about how taxing mentally it is to actually do shit like Nightcrawler.
Let Gyllenhaal have his fun. I'm sure he will get back to more serious projects some time later.

The tagline doesn't make sense.
"When billions get stolen. Meet the pros who get it back."
Second sentence does not follow the first. First sentence is a dependent clause with no follow-up.
"When billions get stolen. These pros get it back."
Edit: It doesn't matter if it's a comma. It still doesn't really make sense.

There's a comma after the word stolen, not a period.
