Too bad about the trailer

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2011)

This really was a very good movie. But the trailer ruined it.
This movie is more like a drama, with a very action-packed ending. The entire ending (all the action) is shown in the trailer. So the whole time watching this movie I was left wondering, "When is this going to happen? When is that going to happen?" Every exciting twist and turn shows up in the trailer, so I found myself watching just for the imagery, but always knowing what was coming next.
Some characters are absolute cookie-cutter and their story arcs can be foreseen instantly and accurately.
I would have given this an 8, but knowing the entire plot from beginning to end really detracted from my enjoyment. So I downgrade this to a 7.
