Today there's never any knowing based on the marketing.  It's a crap shoot even when you look at clips of the actors & subject matter.  And a lot of the critic reviews have been bought, including in places that used to be trustworthy.  I think it all fuels a perception that modern movies are worse than they really are.</blockquote>
