The trailer, which I saw sometime last fall and which successfully enticed me to see the movie. This trailer is pretty remarkable for how little it spoils: it gives an excellent sense of the movie's atmosphere, and some hints of characterization, while avoiding much in the way of details. My favourite kind of trailer.
Based on that I expected Thoroughbreds to be another Brick. Which it was, more or less, but more than that I got a fantastic character study and a couple of jumping-off points for some potentially interesting discussion. I don't know that I liked it but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
Spoilers follow. ( Bruce Willis was a sled all along )
