I love this movie so much
Very best movie i ever watch
Boring
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Depressing, crazy, unpredictable movie that seems like an outline they gave these two great actors and told them "go entertain". The 90 minutes is not worth the ending -- I wish I had the time back. The movie was moving along OK until they actually do the deed then it all goes off the rails and they start doing things that are no characteristic -- got dumb. SKIP THIS
Average at best. The final act had some twists and turns, making it the best bit of the film, but still, the rest of it is not that strong. It isn't that weak though. "The Trust" relies significantly on the dynamic of the main duo - Cage and Wood - and for the most part they do a good job. Cage portrays his typical character - an apparent ordinary man that increasingly becomes darker and dubious. Wood is the one that keeps both of their feet in the ground, in a more contained role, still pulling it off rather good. This is a film you'll only watch because of this two, specially because, apart from this two, there's no much to see and that is, probably, the major flaw of "The Trust". There are no side-characters - apart from Stone's (Cage) father, played by Jerry Lewis, that has only around 1 minute of screen time. "The Trust" had some potential. There's no need to say that most of it was lost.
This movie starts out really strong. The plot maybe a bit nonsensical but it's fast-paced and keeps your attention. Through about the first hour, we're doing alright. But that last half hour, sheesh! The movie falls flat, riddled with plot holes and ludicrous character decisions, mostly by Elijah Wood. Then to top it all off, the final scene raises the ridiculousness to an entire new level.I know that this is just a dumb heist movie but the script should at least try to maintain a semblance of being believable. Is that too much to ask? The movie's title is "The Trust", wanting us to focus on the relationships in this movie and the trust established with them. If that's your whole movie idea, why not focus on that more. We know next to nothing about Cage & Wood's relationship. How long have they known each other? Are they close? The movie doesn't tell us. It's suppose to be this traumatic scene when Wood betrays Cage but we as the audience have no emotional ties to their relationship. Neither of them is exactly likable so the rift that is formed between them (which is out of nowhere, by the way) doesn't mean anything to us. And why exactly Wood decides to trust the girl over Cage at the end is beyond me. Poor ending, very poor.
'THE TRUST': Four Stars (Out of Five)A heist flick, starring Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood! The two play down on their luck police officers, that decide to rob a drug dealer together; by breaking into his secret safe, that they just recently learned about. It was directed by Alex and Benjamin Brewer, and it was scripted by Benjamin and Adam Hirsch. The movie features Sky Ferreira, Ethan Suplee, Steven Williams and the legendary Jerry Lewis in supporting roles. It's received mixed reviews from critics, and it got a limited indie theatrical run at the Box Office (as well as a VOD release). I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to!Sergeant David Waters (Wood) and Lieutenant Jim Stone (Cage) are friends, that both work for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department together (in the Evidence Management unit). They're both struggling financially, and they're also both tired of their jobs. So when Jim learns that a local drug dealer keeps all of his valuable merchandise in one building, the two decide to rob it together. Stone is completely committed to the idea, and quite obsessive about it, while Waters is reluctant to go along with the plan. David quickly regrets his decision, when things become much more complicated than they expected.The movie is a surprisingly well made crime drama; it's often intense, and involving, and the characters are pretty well developed. Wood and Cage are also both perfectly cast in their roles; and you get to see another great manic performance from Cage, but this time in a good film (which doesn't happen frequently enough lately). I also really like the style and music of the movie. It's just an all around entertaining heist flick. It's a little dark, and depressing, but it's also a lot of fun.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' review at: https://youtu.be/RO7ghqXHCCY
