Not saying that they were misleading, but just that they didn't give you the sense of what the film is actually about. I watched the trailers and I honestly didn't really even know what to expect. Thankfully, however, this ended up being a really damn good movie in ways that I didn't really expect. There's always a chance that a movie you think you might enjoy would end up falling short of those expectations, but I digress. I mean, I didn't really know that this would be good.
