Strong and Moving!

Admirable film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Despite the name "Trust", Annie was never at any point supporting or protecting "Charlie", after the fact. She was merely protecting herself, because her actions, including those of "Charlie", are sadly, not mutually exclusive. This, made it refreshingly simple, to sympathize with Annie, and that is perhaps what Trust did best; portraying her process, and her shock.Trust was a compelling story, which was unfortunately told by a director who couldn't quite get their tongue around the topic, and provide a completely satisfying journey of emotion and attention. However, be that as it may, Trust was competent.The main casts' performance, including Clarke and Davis, was of actors who were doing enough to show they can in fact act, at a drop of a hat with little effort. They weren't amazing, but they were showing how amazing they could be if they wanted to... If the project was right or better.Overall, though Trust was a pretty decent effort from Schwimmer, I was disappointed at the potential lost in this story. I did however, like how it ended, and had the rest of the movie been equally enthralling, that ending could've been an incredibly dispiriting moment of artistic flair. 6.4/10

It took almost ten million dollars to make this film. A lot of work with the script. Pristine performances. Lots of locations. Many people involved in the process. Captured the minds of viewers at the TIFF. And became a lemon raising 590,000 dollars worldwide (!).It's completely mind-blowing. This film may not be a scientific work of investigation or a depiction of something that happens to millions. Truth to be said, this film was made for Americans to watch, but... know what? Americans don't want to watch this kind of films. People get scared. Some people may even sue the producers, or the writers, or the director for the subject and the way it was treated.But this film is what it should be. A fantastic drama about a crime that makes your skin crawl. A beautifully produced film with difficult roles and moving performances. A believable story with believable actors (it's very uncommon for an American film to use actors the same age as that of their characters. For this film it meant everything! Casting 14- year-old Liana Liberato was the key to making Annie believable. And believable she is! Liana's performance is beyond performing: she portrays very complex emotions and states of mind in a way that few pros could summon.A must see for everyone.

The definitive Hollywood cautionary tale remains the 1936 production of Reefer Madness which, in common with this film, was produced to make a point.Don't laugh -- the number of IMDb members who have rated Reefer Madness to date is about 6,000. This is not a film which has suffered the ignominy of obscurity.Schwimmer meant well. You can see it in the writing, the casting and the direction. But meaning well and producing a good film do not always go hand in hand, especially when you are really teaching the viewer, not entertaining him.Truth is, the film does not come alive until the 1:20 mark when Liana Liberato, who really was 14 at time of shooting, gives not only the outstanding performance of the movie but a performance that dwarfs the efforts of Owen and Keener who, frankly, seem uncomfortable with the script. This is the same Liberato who would later shine in BEST OF ME.The ending, the last 120 seconds, is clever and resonates with some of the camera work in Tony Curtis's portrayal of The Boston Strangler.Bottom line: could have been much worse.

This was a very moving movie. Wish there were more movies like it. It was so real and believable and shows how real that online dating is and how dangerous it can be. The acting is this movie was also so exceptional. What I found to be the most shocking aspect of this movie was how easy it is for a man to stalk a young teenager online and take advantage of the situation. I'd been aware of it, as everyone is, but this is the first time I've seen the matter tackled properly in film. I think that this film should be shown in schools, and I know I might sound preachy here, but I think any parent would agree with me on this. And besides, it's a very entertaining film anyway. I look forward to more work from Schwimmer.
