The greatest movie ever!
... View MoreBest movie ever!
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View MoreThis movie is just as bad as a movie I saw with Bianca Lawson in House of Secrets neither man wanted to see their mates move on. A trusted man is badly written and badly acted. a trusted man never should have been written, the script is so bad it should have written, bad acting job, bad acting cast. The only good actress was Charisma Carpenter and the lines were so terrible it wasn't funny. I shut the movie off after an hour and twenty minutes into the movie, I caught the last 5 minutes of it who wouldn't figure out that her ex boyfriend was working on making her life miserable. Charisma should of broken off the relationship with Tom long before her promotion but he should have understood her job and understood her.
... View MoreObsession or A Trusted Man is not completely irredeemable. It is not too bad to look at, and Charisma Carptenter, Gemma Martini and Nicholas Lea's performances are decent. But it is a largely bad and forgettable movie. While the actors do what they can, they don't have much to work with. Their characters are underdeveloped clichés and I found myself more annoyed with rather than able to identify with them. The dialogue flows awkwardly from one line to the next, and some of those lines are either cheesy and ones that we've heard to exhaustion. The pacing is lifeless and meandering, and unfortunately it never recovers, and while the direction does nothing to hurt how the film looks there is nothing that holds any kind of distinction or even life here. But what fared worst for Obsession was the story. It is one of those stories that you have seen so many times before, and done in such a draggy and non-suspenseful fashion, that you know exactly what's going to happen to each other and how the movie was going to end. Nothing makes sense either, there's far too many senseless parts here to really pick out the biggest offender in this regard, but Sebastian not calling the cops on the way to the warehouse, the cop knowing about the warehouse without having been there and Sonia not finding it peculiar how he came out in the middle of nowhere are certainly at the top of the list.All in all, forgettable, predictable and senseless movie compensated by some decent acting and that it didn't look cheap. 3/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreHere we go. The storyline is so linear that it makes the movie hard to watch. You always know what the next steps will be. No surprises there. All the turns of events can be predicted, somewhat looks like the screenplay was written in a way to make it easy to understand even for the family dog. Note that we are talking about a thriller!!! Where is the thrill, the suspense, the biting of your fingernails?! Seriously! There are a number of points where you know that in real life this and that cannot/would never happen. And these all happen at moments that are crucial for the storyline. So bottom line: Don't waste your time with this movie. I can't believe I am actually wasting time on typing up this review... just wanted to spare you the disappointment.
... View MoreA Trusted Man is one of the worse movies I'd ever seen. After a 2-year relationship, Sonia tells her boyfriend, Tom, she got a work promotion, accepted, and planned on relocating. Just up and go. Being female, I believe women are free to do as they please, but in a long-term affair, at the minimum, attempt to resolve an issue. I do not condone Tom's actions, but when two people are in love, or one spouse assumes his/her partner loves him/her, is it not normal to sit down and discuss options? I mean, two-years?? The same applies to men. It doesn't take the FBI to figure out who's doing the stalking. Minutes after watching A Trusted Man, I figured out the ending. Trusted Man is non-Challenging. Non-Suspense. Seems to me the screen-writer, attempted putting a story together, without much contemplation.
