That’s not false advertising. The trailer depicted characters in the town of Bruges where the film took place, it showed the marketed actors who were in the film, and gave the name of the film. Trailers are allowed to be creatively misleading for marketing purposes, that doesn’t reach the threshold for false advertising.

Definitely misleading but I feel like a lot of dark comedies have or used to have those kind of trailers to get butts in seats. The Lobster immediately comes to mind. While it’s a very good dark comedy, the trailer feels really whimsical and silly compared to the true tone of the film.

That being said, I found In Bruges to also be absolutely hilarious despite how dark it was. Definitely not the action comedy in the trailer but a very well done flick
