THE BUZZ: Overture Films lost a bundle with Righteous Kill but the reunion of Ethan Hawke and his Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is pretty much a can’t-miss shot at success, right? The trailer offers equal doses of machismo, stress, and style, though I paid the most attention when Don Cheadle shared the screen with Wesley Snipes, since their wedge of the story reads as though it has the most layers — even though we’ve watched an infinite number of cops get way-too-undercover over the years. Also: Couldn’t Mr. Fuqua direct a film like this in his sleep at this point in his career?
