* TrailerAlwaysLie: The trailer implied that it was a touching story of a troubled young man (Gosling) just trying to do what's right: support his son financially. So, in order for this to happen, he must go around robbing banks. Then, it showed Cooper being the police officer. It implied that he was the cop who was trying to investigate the bank robberies, and catch Gosling's character. Then it showed Ray Liotta, who seemed to be Cooper's boss in the trailer. It also implied that Gosling and Mendes come together as a happy family and she accepted his bank robbing ways and they were to live happily ever after until Gosling was arrested. Not even remotely close to the actual plot.
