Really good movie... just not horror...


This was actually a really good movie... it's just not a horror movie. It's a courtroom drama/thriller.

Are you not entertained?!

Yeah. The marketing for this was terrible. I don't know why they do this to movies. Yeah, you may attract more people initially, but ultimately it's going to leave a sour taste in people's mouth. Expectation can alter an otherwise positive review into a negative simply because people didn't get what they thought they were paying for. Not to mention, that all those that wait for reviews to decide whether they go to the theater or not, are now spending their money elsewhere. It's idiotic to me, but whatever gets the teens in seats that first weekend...
