The rating is calculated like this...
9 out of 10 for ACTING/CINEMATOGRAPHY
0 out of 10 for Writing Suicide
Can't blame the original screenwriter as I am unaware if this was their undoing or the work of some higher up. Some people write to be unique and artistic, but not everyone can get away with it.
The Trust starts out as a brilliant film, but then writes into confusion around the 3rd act, and in the end figuratively leaves you atop a mountain like Frodo and Sam in part one of The Lord of the Rings (TLOTR). It gives the feeling that the director couldn't be bothered completing this film. Sadly there is no part two or three for this film. Had they gone with a more thorough and adaptive ending, this film might have been on the same caliber as Boondock Saints or Reservoir Dogs.
I hate to say it, but this is a perfect example for writers to watch so they can learn what NOT to do with the ending of of a screenplay...
