Hey, anyone remember Gerard Butler’s Oscar picture? Exactly. Relativity bit the bullet in picking up this $30 million-budgeted actioner-with-a-social-conscience, and then lost their stones after a wave of harsh reviews. A few poorly-promoted and poorly-attended arthouse showings later, and the film had barely eclipsed $1 million. Did it help that the real-life inspiration for the film, Sam Childers, had entered the country to promote the film as reports had surfaced that some of his work with children had been greatly exaggerated? Probably not.
