This film will flop because....


Colin Farrell is playing the lead.

Colin Farrell = box office poison.

He's a good actor and I do like the guy but he's not a box office draw. He's unable to put bums in seats. They should have got some other good looking guy in the lead and gave Colin a supporting role.

Time will tell. You never know I could be wrong.

While he may not be a huge draw, he isn't a detriment either. Decent actor.

Well I posted this before the film came out. Here's the figures:

Budget - $60,000,000
Box Office - $12,437,853

So I was sadly right. As I knew I would be. Colin Farrell simply has no drawling power. For some reason he's unable to put bums in seats.

Well, the movie was also pretty bad. So there's that.

I think it mostly flopped because it was just a bad film. People find out very quickly when films are bad. I only saw it because of Colin Farrell and Russel Crowe and I still regret wasting my time. No issue on cost though, doesn't cost me to get into the cinema.

Think the marketing was not that good. Have you seen the trailer? Just not that appealing.
