Surviving the Game (1994) It takes more of an action approach, but the core concept is similar.

Great tech demos, but bad movies.

For me it’s the now husband and how’s he’s trying to deal with the situation and we’re like “fuck you!” But also he’s just trying his best to not lose his wife to a guy that should be fucking dead

Wait… given the look of total loss followed by ecstatic realisation, I thought Dutch had mistaken the direction of the trap and just lucked out? His ‘come and do it’ was a sincere attempt to lure the predator in.

This poster, the angle, the lighting, pose, framing, colors… all seem generic to me. Also the cover you linked to barely looks like the Creed III poster.
Lastly, movie posters are made by the distributor. MB Jordan had 0 say in it. This is most likely a still frame taken from the footage they shot, that was then over-sharpened and heavily color corrected. There’s no room for "a nice, mindful homage to X" in the case of Hollywood movie posters. It’s a sweatshop and its only goal is to maximize the $$$
I get that this poster reminded you of Hajime’s poster, but to say there’s any relation between the two is quite the stretch IMHO.

First one was great, second one disappointing.

Ugh this is how streaming dies. There's a reason we use these services. We don't want local content. As a Canadian, I avoid most Canadian made content like the plague. A glance at any CBC show proves it. I've heard of this law coming to YouTube and Netflix here and if it does it'll be awful.

Tully. Charlize Theron gives some good emotional breakdown moments.

Right? That would be just as shocking as finding out that this Mona Lisa painting I bought on Wish is a counterfeit! After all, I paid $25 for it, so it had better be the real deal!!!

Shocked, I say!

I'd wager what happened is that even though the script and original book call for a courtroom the war museum was chosen instead because it was both convenient to film in and quite visually striking (the room his cell is in particularly) and all dialogue that references what the building actually is were taken out. It's weird that they just left the war museum sign in either way, though.

Self censorship is a thing. Fear of backlash leads to this outcome.
Creating non specific enemies like Top Gun Maverick or fictional enemies like Aliens, human invaders from another realm is another angle. Last you have some art where they make the bad guy just so bad emotionally/character wise and then bland their appearance/physical characteristics to make them inoffensive but often forgettable.

It literally says in onscreen text earlier:
> Shelby County Courthouse

It's a large courthouse with a war museum also inside, hence the War Museum sign.

The movie script calls out the location as:
"EXT. SHELBY COUNTY COURTHOUSE - DAY
The old courthouse is a massive Gothic stronghold, with an armada of police cruisers parked at the curb."
https://imsdb.com/scripts/Silence-of-the-Lambs.html
However the movie locations website calls it:
"'Memphis Town Hall’, where Lecter escapes from the holding cell and borrows the face of his guard, is the Allegheny County Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum, 4141 Fifth Avenue, a military museum, part of the University of Pittsburgh."

Shelby County Tennessee is where Memphis is.

I think it was a "former" courthouse and jail building.
