'Trust Me' wasn't at all what I was expecting at first but I was definitely not disappointed. Since watching it, I have recommended to friends who have also liked it. We've also enjoyed discussing the various themes presented. It's interesting how many of those themes overlap from the movie to real life and into other situations. I always enjoy a movie that makes me think.

Most of the actors are familiar faces; well-known from both TV and movies yet that did not distract from the story in the least. The young actress, Saxon Sharbino, is really good. I had never seen her in other roles but she nailed it. I hope she'll have a bright future in the business. What most impressed me is how Clark Gregg not only starred in but also wrote and directed this movie. I liked his many references to past actors and shows too.

Getting movies made is not easy so I really appreciate actors who push to get their movies made and are willing to take small roles in lower- budget movies. It give us more options. Big budget blockbusters can be fun at times but they're often too formulaic, which I find boring. Some rely heavily on fillers like car chases, explosions, violence, sex scenes, and special effects. All of those things are fine but, I feel, they should support a really good, well-written story.
