After watching the first trailer, as a consumer, I'd likely not be interested in it because of its lack of clarity. I tend to stray away from films that are marketed in a way where I'm not positive of the message being delivered.
But yes, I would cut that into multiple solid 30-second clips, utilizing the montage effect and then drop anecdotal information like the conversation in the middle of the existing trailer. Even if the point isn't particularly clear, it can be forgiven as a 30 second trailer. With anything that is considered a "full trailer", not giving the audience a clear understanding can be detrimental to the film's berth.
I would definitely urge creating some solid-beat short trailers that both sell the idea, and play up the overall insanity of the job position. That would hold my attention and give me quicker insight as to what's being sold to me.
