I saw this movie a few months back with my parents and I find myself revisiting it in my mind. I'm too removed from my initial viewing of it to write anything too significant, but I am impressed to note a few things.
After watching a few of those misleading trailers one is left thinking they are in for another "wanna be" Jason Bourne movie, or that Clooney wants to play James Bond! I should of had more faith in Clooney (co-producer & star) and Anton Corbijn. I was expecting nothing original, and probably something mainstream action-wise.
My expectations were greatly exceeded. If the purpose of those god-awful trailers was to draw in the action crowd in order to force them to appreciate slow-paced, yet riveting cinema, then mission accomplished. It is as if one of the great Italian neorealist directors remade a Bourne movie. The film is all what one would want from Corbijn, whose only other big screen production is the critically acclaimed Control. Seriously, the most misleading trailers, ever.
