I can see the argument that they're relying a bit too much on the actors (for their faces). On the other hand, even if you had some no-names this kind of postesr would work. The idea is that behind them is the massless, faceless conformity. The very close up of the lead actors shows you that they're different: defined, not part of the mass. The red serves to wash everything out but notice the actors' eyes. Very defined by contrast. Likewise, yellow is the one color you do want to use against red (in limited doses) to show extreme contrast. So, from a visual marketing perspective, it's actually well done. From a full marketing perspective, how well done it is will depend on how effectively it entices people to see the movie (or furthers their desire to do so).
