A poster doth not a movie make

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2007)

I believe it's a oversimplification to think people would be turned off the film from simply seeing the Black Snake Moan poster. There are far too fans of Samuel L Jackson, an actor known to take risks in his choice of roles, to summarily dismiss a new picture simply based on one image from an entire film. I knew from the title it had to have something to do with the Blues, which tweaked my interest immediately. For many, that alone will spur enough interest to want to see Black Snake Moan. Most people who eventually see it will have seen the trailer, as I have, and the effect of the poster will have no bearing at all. Merely the fact Samuel L Jackson is in it is reason enough to see Black Snake Moan.
