One sentence synopsis: honestly, judging by the trailer alone, I can only assume it's a revenge story.
One sentence trailer thoughts: looks really, really, Oscar baitish.

| Yeah, that mad man is Leo DiCaprio. |
Expanded thoughts: when the teaser for this movie came out, I was blown away; it gave you a really good feel for the artistry of the movie. That teaser is infinitely better than this official trailer, mostly because they sold me with great sound editing and imagery, and very few verbal exposition required. It was a piece of art in and of itself, whereas this trailer is more mainstream, however understandable that is from a marketing standpoint. Either one is a perfect showcase for González Iñárritu's masterful direction, though. Are several Oscar nominations awaiting this film? Probably. It sure looks like Oscar bait, and as of now, I'm biting.

| Tom Hardy seems to be wanting that first Academy Award nomination really bad. |
Expectations: Very high.
