...after seeing the trailer, I expected an action-packed sci-fi horror. The film turned out to be nothing at all like that. I'm not saying it's better or worse, I'm just saying that they put together a trailer that gave a completely wrong impression of the film.
Ps, I liked the film. It's no masterpiece, but definitely worth one watch.
Can't trust many trailers these days.
I post trailers for my friends, to recommend movies that I've seen and really like, and the trailers can be SO disappointing and so NOT focused on what is really good about a movie.
I also agree with your statement that this film is no masterpiece, but is definitely watchable.
In fact, I've seen it 3 times now and the ending still gets to me.

They used the same hook tactic with A Beautiful Mind; otherwise, had we known the premise, would we go watch it? They hyped that movie up and then, in the end, it turned out to be average.

I was expecting a standard thriller kind of like Flightplan or Non-Stop. But the third act twist was genuinely surprising.
