Like all of the review pages looked at from Empire Magazine this one is little different. For a start it features an image from the film with the edges of the picture bleeding into the white page of the magazine and the edges. The text is once again presented in columns so as to make it easier to read and once more the main title is big and bold so that it is eye-catching for the reader. The picture is once again overlayed with a selection of information about the film, in particular the image in question. To invite readers to be drawn in, the text calls for people to "Look closer" and presumably follows with an analysis of the picture. Another thing that would draw in the reader is the fact that the picture is of two big stars from, one of which is Ewan McGregor (right) and I think George Clooney (left). Knowing that the film features these two well-known actors would be enough to make most readers become interested in what is said about the film. Just like how Empire's review for I Am Legend featured an image of Will Smith. The reviews will often choose a well-known star of the film to use because they know that a lot of film reviews are only read based on what raises a reader's curiosity and the knowledge that so and so is in the film is usually enough to light a small spark of interest.
