Reminds me of how the Grauniad's negative review of the movie Legend was spun: https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2015/sep/09/legend-review-movie-marketing-false-advertising
There’s the movie poster with a 2 star review: https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2015/sep/09/legend-review-movie-marketing-false-advertising
A good version of this here:

plus some general stuff about the practice
The Tom Hardy movie Legend is about the Kray twins (he plays both), and is well worth watching if you haven't seen it.
Reminds me of this [1] movie poster for "Legend" that does a great job of turning a 2 star review from The Guardian into what appears to be 4 stars.
