Somebody actually sued over this one.

A Michigan woman filed a lawsuit against distributor FilmDistrict and the theater where she saw Drive after feeling that she had been misled by a trailer that promised Fast and Furious-esque action, not the stripped-down modern noir that director Nicolas Winding Refn had created. Her demands? A refund for the cost of the ticket. Only in America.

To be fair, Drive's trailers definitely made it look a lot more like a standard Hollywood action thriller than the graphically-violent, stylized and visually-driven blend of arthouse and populist filmmaking that it actually was.

While many people may have felt that they'd been sold an entirely different movie by the time they'd parted with their cash and sat down in the theater, at least they still got to see one of the best films of 2011.
