The Trust (2016)
7/10
Better than expected
27 November 2016
Without spoilers, the two things I didn't like were a lack of backstory on all of the characters and the overall point of the film. I'm sure there are theories in other people's reviews but I like to write my own review before reading others because it ends up being some of their opinion through my mouth. Anyways, the ending of the film just felt, not like a cliffhanger so much but just empty and not over. I guess there's a sense of it being just another thing. Hard to explain without spoilers. I did like Nicolas Cage in this film. I wouldn't have watched the film if it didn't have Elijah Wood in it because he picks good projects; Cage however, seems to grab up any and all movies now. For example, he has five 2017 projects in production currently, and it's November 27th 2016. I liked the story; it was unpredictable and entertaining. It however would have been better, as I just stated, if it was longer and had a better ending and background on the characters. The acting was good. Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood played characters they normally do, Cage being eccentric, and Wood being skittish. And all other actors were good as well. I love Ethan Suplee and his character has potential but was only in the story to help move it along. The directing, color, cinematography, etc.; all Editing of the film was good. It had some very cool shots, one of it being while Elijah Wood's character is standing under a street light against a fence. Why? Watch the movie to find out. Altogether, I watched the film on Netflix so it's basically free, but it's worth spending money to rent. Not the best film but it was entertaining. I would consider watching again in the future. Worth the watch.
