I'm not sure there's any way to make a reasonable trailer for this
movie that doesn't give away who the baddie is. I suppose there could
be a teaser-type trailer that shows Cillian and Rachel together and
then shows some of the amped up thriller moments, trying to keep
protagonoists hidden, but i'm not sure that would work well.

One thing i was HOPING would be part of the 3rd act was that Cillian
Murphy was a good guy trying to kill a Bad Guy. I was hoping that the
Senator would be some corrupt, treasonous guy or something and that
Cillian Murphy was some sort of riteous freedom fighter or something
like that.
