Crappy trailer

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2011)

I really liked this movie, but I can't believe how disparate the tone of the trailer is vs the tone of this movie. The people who approved the trailer should be canned, because in my opinion the trailer will lose audiences who might normally like this film. The trailer makes it seem like this is a hyper suspenseful and violent action thriller, which couldn't be further from what it is - an entertaining puzzler. I wouldn't give it a 10, but it was genuinely entertaining with some fresh and interesting faces. Why everything seems to need to be sold like and action thriller these days is confusing to me. I'm sure they test market a lot of these things, but the trailer totally missed the point and I wouldn't have gone to see it had my friend really wanted to go and had I just noticed a decent review.
