Damn these trailers!

Rating: 5/10 (16 February 2013)

One of the things I hate the most about modern films is that they sometimes try to sell them as something they're not.
This film is a very good example of that because watching the trailer you tell yourself that this is a movie about a miraculous plane crash, and that the plot is going to be about how it was possible that Denzel Washington saved all these people. I was expecting anything, really, they even could've throw in some paranormal events into the story just for the sake of a plot like the one presented in the trailer.
Truth is, this film is miles away from it's advertisement. It has nothing to do with thriller and mystery, and the plane crash is only here to set up the real subject of the movie : the main character's alcoholism. I do have to give this film some credit for a very realistic and well- showed plane crash scene but this was still a big disappointment. Hope that trailers will change one day and actually sell a film as it is.
