Read Nick Jones's film review of Finder's Fee

Fans of Finder's Fee will be disappointed to find that it only comes with one feature, the original trailer. The only interesting thing about this is that it demonstrates how false an impression a trailer can give to the nature of the product it is selling.

When you watch it, you would be forgiven for assuming that this is a moody, intense thriller with lots of action, but it isn't like that at all. It also gives a rather false impression of the actual plot, leading you to think that the four main characters all know that there's a winning lottery ticket at stake, which isn't the case.

As if that wasn't enough, the trailer also has the mother of all spoilers in it, thus removing any suspense the film would have had previously. In fact, if you watch this, you don't need to bother with the film, which is long, tedious and far less entertaining than this trailer would have you to believe.
