You know when you have a moment where you see something during a movie that completely takes you out of it? I had one of those moments watching a trailer last night.
I was watching Conan (huzzah!) and a trailer for the new Paul Haggis film, The Next Three Days with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks, and I was totally getting into it.
And then there was that moment that I mentioned.
Russell Crowe opened a car door with a tennis ball. That doesn't work.
If it was a comedy, I would have shrugged it off, but the film is setting itself up as a tense action/thriller, and knowing that particular method doesn't work makes me question the rest of the film. It pops my suspension of disbelieve completely.
I know that perhaps the filmmakers didn't want to show the viewing audience a real method of beating an electronic lock, which I would accept. Other than that, it detracts from the moment for me.
