Trailers are designed for us to judge it with the goal that
we'll do so favorably. But I haven't made any decision on
what the film is, I haven't seen it ... the trailer on the
other hand depicts a stereotypical liberal Hollywood pro-drug
propaganda ... as well as the interviews with the stars I've
seen and the critiques I've read. But of course in full
viewing it may go beyond all of that and be something
worthwhile. Hell, even as stereotypical liberal Hollywood
pro-drug propaganda it could still be an entertaining movie.
It definitely has a noirish look to it, but with all the bad
guys I doubt it has anything hardboiled to it. I don't buy
into all that honor among things and the noble criminal
bullshit ... the code that a HB character lives by is
inherently good in a universal sense.

well, check out the movie first before you judge it.
