It looks like any other teen drama about kids probably doing some rotten things. Yet there&#8217;s also a sense of something more sinister, like it will soon turn into a thriller, maybe involving an accidental death and cover-up. Once we&#8217;re in that zone, suddenly strange things occur and we realize that this is something completely weird. The trailer looks good, but we&#8217;ll have to wait until February to see if the movie lives up to it. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i-M5Qx57_UU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>&#8216;This Means War&#8217;<\/h5>\n<p>As the preview proudly displays, this new action comedy looks like a live-action take on &#8216;Spy vs. Spy&#8217;, which could be lots of fun to watch. That is, so long as McG doesn&#8217;t somehow screw it all up. Sadly, that&#8217;s a strong possibility. With Tom Hardy and Chris Pine as the dueling espionage experts, there&#8217;s a great deal of potential here, and the trailer really plays up the two actors&#8217; current popularity. I have wonder, though, how much of a prize is Reese Witherspoon? Her character better be worth all this trouble, because if she&#8217;s making friends with the likes of Chelsea Handler, I doubt many guys want to be hanging around for too long. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oleuD8479uM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For more of the latest movie trailers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/latest-trailers\/\">check out our trailers page.<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early next year promises a few flicks with unexpected twists to pretty much old ideas.
