10 Most Misleading Trailers Of 2015

2. Grand Theft Del Toro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dJf9ncf0G8 The Film: Sicario What It Promised: A muscular, explosive, adrenaline-fuelled shoot-'em-up. What It Actually Was: Thus far, every film from genius auteur Denis Villeneuve has been incorrectly marketed. The studios are so intent on selling the stars rather than the picture that they totally bypass the director's primary intentions. Every trailer for the astonishingly brilliant Sicario (no doubt the best film of 2015 thus far) has opted to neglect the unbearable natural tension and instead populate the frame with fragmented slices of the picture's very few action set pieces. However, no trailer has been quite as unlawful as this late arrival. This intoxicating, brooding masterpiece is a feverish slow-burner; some scenes run for up to 15 minutes merely as means to organically develop mood. It is not a run-and-gun, Call Of Duty-inspired massacre like this trailer suggests. Aided (well, tainted) by a hideously misplaced hip-hop track, it is painstakingly clear that Lionsgate are attempting to penetrate the teenage male market here; quite frankly the demographic most likely to loathe Sicario. This is patient, progressive filmmaking - it uses a wealthy run-time to truly invest the spectator and suffocate them with it's lingering ambiance. It reaches UK screens on Thursday 8th October and simply must be seen, but do not expect a high-octane action flick because you'll be sorely disappointed.
