If you stick to what you said, about the trailer being intentionally misleading, then I disagree. If you retract, then I agree.
Yes, we agree..
No it's not. Ex: when I saw the trailer for "American Gangster", Denzel was the only reason I wanted to see it and one of his best and most memorable roles prior to that film was playing a bad guy, so his character in "Training Day" crossed my mind even though you know it's two completely different movies.
On one hand you're thinking of a previous role then on the other not expecting him to play the same role - that's all I'm saying is slightly contradictory..
I had no beef with Stone other than that the ending just kinda drifts towards a conclusion. It's nice to see DeNiro get back to playing a role that isn't just a sad caricature of some previous work.
