it would have been better if the two women's faces were turned to us, centered, cropped from the partial bridge of the noses up, the knife horizontal partially over the red lips, with Keanu's reflection some what in the metal of the knife.

But this poster contradicts what we understand to be the point (did I just do that?) of the film. Who's the victim? Evan? or the crazed, evil girls? This is something that puzzles me about the film, and about Roth in general - cautionary tale? morality play? or torture porn, squeee! - because all three together makes no sense and seems way too muddled.

The clips etc that we've seen suggest that Evan is tormented because he made a bad choice, under what can only be described as extreme...duress.
Sure, adultery is bad - but is the implication that it deserves what happens after that? I agree, it isn't a morality play because there would have to be actual morality espoused (dang, this is...difficult!) & that sounded a WHOLE lot like nervous laughter to me.

If the whole film was the suspense and awkward sexual comedy / tension / creepiness that seems to happen in the beginning of the film, THAT would be cool. I hope - we'll (at least some of us will) see - that it doesn't completely unravel into "OMG! watch Keanu in distress!!!" I'm just not interested in that. I barely survived Kai's suffering in 47 Ronin, and that was for a purely noble cause.

About calling it a "morality play", that phrase where I was brought up means a story where a person breaks a moral code and suffers the consequences. Calling it a cautionary tale has a slightly different meaning. It is more about the danger you could let into your life. For that the protagonist may or may not be guilty.

I am looking forward to seeing "knock knock " but I fear many fans may not like it as they only want the action hero character. Me, I've decided I want to see who Keanu has found to show us. That includes those struggling at the edges of society in "generation Um ..."
