TRAILERS

She looks like a beautiful vigilante. That might sell the film. Let's hope that the rest will be there too ...

Looks interesting. I'll watch it. Don't really understand how it could be controversial unless we're saying that all films like Taken etc are controversial as they use violence for good...

There's much more to it than that... People seem to be uncomfortable with violence being used in a positive way, it's always seen as negative - and controversial because society says that we should never ever use violence. But yeah...

I'm interested because it's about women and the abuse they suffer usually with no help or compassion from society at large and the lead is female as is the director. However, I did not like the trailer. I thought it was poorly done and didn't do a very good job of piquing one's interest in the subject at hand regarding the film. Too bad. I hated the punching the bag clip in the beginning as it went on much too long and then they had to continue with the sound of it thru out the rest of the trailer. All it did was annoy me. Still, I'd like to see this film as the director isn't responsible for a bad trailer so no sense in laying that on her.

Idk about thinking women being abused have no help or compassion from society. That may have been an issue previously, but we're in a heavy #MeToo era of women's rights and voices being heard. I do think a lot of woman in abusive situations are too terrified to seek help and thus end up in a terrible cycle of violence and forgiveness/excuses for their abuser. Maybe it's different across the pond?

No, it's the same here. The #metoo movement is a positive move forward, but society still is far behind in compassion and help for rape victims and victims of domestic abuse and violence. That really hasn't changed and one only has to look at the resistance the #metoo movement is getting with this continuing to not believe women who come forward. I'm a bit more cynical than you it appears, but I see it as the truth and not cynicism.

Well said, but I'm now tending to believe the women just for the reason you stated in your last sentence. Plus the fact for years and years they have not been believed and in fact have been denigrated. I can't allow myself to be any part of that kind of reaction. So I believe them and agree there should be an exhaustive investigation asap. From what I understand the statistics of reports of abuse, rape, etc. only about 3% are ever proven to be false allegations. That's a staggering statistic, yet many still do not want to believe women and immediately go to they are lying when the facts support the opposite. It's time for us to believe these women and help stop the suffering women have endured at the hands of men since the beginning of us standing up and walking as humans. Peace.

I felt raw and bruised just from watching the trailer. Wilde looks good in this. Wondered why I haven't seen her in awhile...
