Reply to comment by notoliberals in Is it just be that found the trailer for "In Bruges" to be deceitful? by notoliberals

I think it depends how much information you are looking for going into the movie. Rotten tomatoes tends to be what I use.

I looked at rotten tomatoes and saw very high reviews. I naively thought that it means that the movie is all the trailer promised it to be. Alas, I was deeply mistaken.

Yeah I think it is good to check a few summaries from there to get a feel what it will be like. Im not sure what dark comedies you have seen in the past but in my experience, there often is a sadder element to them too

I consider movies like "Snatch" and "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" to be dark comedies. The trailer seemed to suggest that "In Bruges" would of the the same genre. I see a lot of people disagree with me on this.
