How trailers can ruin movies!

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2009)

The strenghts of this movie are also its flaws. The problems of this movie have been mentioned in many comments. It's a nice plot but it has serious realism problems and an ending that makes you wonder how bad the alternative endings the writer came up with must've been. These are the writers that wrote the script for the Recruit. It's hard to see how they fell so deep this time.
However, I want to mention something new, and that is how trailers can ruin a movie for you. The trailer of Law Abiding Citizen is what got me to the theater. Of course a trailer shows you something of the movie, but this trailer kind of blew every surprise for me there is in the movie. At the start this is not much of a problem, but if at about 2/3 of the movie I still know that the cars are going to blow up as soon as the justice people leave the prison, then that kind of spoils the movie! Didn't they think of something like that?
