As expected, the film is being released by the end of the year so that the film can qualify for Award consideration. I don’t think I’ve read a review yet that didn’t mention both Mickey Rourke and Academy Award nomination in the same sentence. I wouldn’t be surprised if the film didn’t get a few more nominations as well. From what I understand, part of the decision that went into the acquisition earlier this week, was which studio could position the film for awards consideration.
