It's always a pleasant surprise to be wrong about your negative first impressions of a movie. Between the bland trailer, the shoddy poster, and the tenuous "from the producer of The Invisible Man" tag in the trailer, You Should Have Left certainly looked to me like a throwaway VOD release grasping at straws to garner the slightest bit of interest. The casting of an aging, iconic actor in the lead role seemed like a ploy to goad some poor Kevin Bacon diehards into watching. Even the opening minutes of the film screamed "B-movie dreck," and the hyper-crisp, digital, washed-out camera work only further complemented that notion.
