What were they going for with the trailer?


I always wonder what film makers are going for when they produce a trailer that gives NO clue as to what the movie is about.

Well, you don't want your trailer to give your film away, do you?

I think enough about the film can be figured out by viewing the trailer. We see a woman doctor surveilled. We know who's watching over her. We aren't told exactly why which compels us to want to see the movie. And we know that she's a selfless person who wants to help others even if it means helping them escape their fate, and in doing so risking one's own freedom. I thought the trailer left enough about the film out to make me want to see it!!
