the audience applauded

It is a performances centric movie

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Can you imagine watching Jerry McGuire, where Tom Cruise gets cheated by the Cuba Gooding character in the final scenes, then shot to death for good measure? Trust Me is the downer of all downer movies. The story is about an agent, played by Iron Man's Agent Coulson, Gregg Clark. Like Jerry McGuire, the movie starts with a down-and-out agent hanging onto his life and sanity by a thread. A former child star turned Hollywood agent, Gregg Clarks character befriends a young, talented child star up for a 3 picture role in a Twilight-style movie series. He helps her get free of her father, who has sexually abused her. Time for bells to ring, the sun to shine, and life to be lived happily ever after by this decent, worthy man? No. It's time for the young child star to dump him in favor of a sleazy agent, played by an outstanding Sam Rockwell. Sam Rockwell has the same role as Jay Mohr and his character in Jerry McGuire, a man who will say and do anything to cheat his way to the top. Just when you think it can't get any worse, the pedophile dad shoots Gregg Clark in the final scene. It's a great, uplifting message: No matter what you do, no matter what success you earn, someone with fewer scruples will take it all from you. You Can't Win is the message of this piece of s***. This is the first spoiler review I've written. Save yourself an hour and a half of pain. This is the Feel Awful Movie-of-the-Decade. One star is generous. Skip Trust Me, and watch Jerry McGuire again.

This movie is very original and interesting. It tells the story of Howard, an agent for child actors who was himself a young child actor who, however, failed to achieve great fame. When he meets Lydia, a very talented young actress, he thinks he has found a possible turning point in his career. Without revealing too much of the plot, the movie begins as a comedy where Howard is a loser with a good heart, who courts for months his beautiful neighbor who even notices it. But going forward the film is colored with a dramatic and noir vein, ending with a dreamy touch. Clark Gregg proves to be a great director and screenwriter but, even more, a great actor. Definitely a movie to watch.

My respect for Gregg just increased 10 fold, I thought he was a good character actor who landed a big role in the marvel universe that fits like a glove for him. But he seems to be a very talented director and writer as well. His performance is solid and the chemistry between him, Sharbino, Peet, Rockwell and Sparks carries the movie from OK to good and the direction and editing moves it from good to great. It fells like it was made out of one piece and all the transitions within story are executed brilliantly. It plays with the expectations of the audience and the stereotypes of such movies and ends up being something completely unexpected and thought provoking.

This movie has a great payoff. The story is told well, these actors are all fantastic, but it is truly Clark Gregg and that girl from Touch Saxon Sharbino who make this movie as human, and touching as it is. The plot is not all that original, and there are no real surprises, this movie is all in the fine acting, and the look at life for people just about to be thrust into the spotlight. I Enjoyed this movie, and Saxon Sharbino is really good at playing who ever she is with which ever group of people she is around. If you like old Hollywood movies you will know this story well, but you will like the new players, and how they tell it. If this is a new story for you it will feel fresh, and keep you guessing.
