That damn Gillette billboard!

I don't mind a little subtle advertising, like somebody drinking from a coke or beer bottle, but not when it's thrown in your face like it is in this film. The reason people watch movies is for the escapism it brings - to detract you from day to day life, but when you have a huge Gillette billboard in shot every 20 minutes makes it get really damn annoying!
I don't think even Michael Bay would go as low as to have a bus/truck blast through a giant Coke sign for example...

It was very out of place. Especially in a remote village like this. You'd be lucky to have bus stop adverts in these places.
