There are certain actors and actresses whom I will watch in anything they release, Nicholas Cage is one of those actors. Even in the worst movies, he always gives a strong performance and I enjoy watching him work, but even the Academy AwardThere are certain actors and actresses whom I will watch in anything they release, Nicholas Cage is one of those actors. Even in the worst movies, he always gives a strong performance and I enjoy watching him work, but even the Academy Award winning actor couldn't save The Trust. Cage plays Stone, a lifelong cop still on the bottom of the pecking order. Luckily for him, he's paired with the much younger Waters (Elijah Wood), another cop with few aspirations. Together they don't make up a team of elite crime fighters, so on their off hours, they're small time criminals, and as it turns out they're not great at that either. One day while investigating a case, they notice a safe in the evidence room and decide to bust it open, what's inside leads them into a mess of police corruption. For starters, this movie doesn't make sense! Everyone talks in riddles, it's impossible to know who is on what side, and most important of all, what's the point? If these guys are corrupt cops, why do they care so much when they discover that they aren't the only ones? They're losers who don't care about anything, until they find out there are other bad cops, then all of a sudden they are Starsky and Hutch? I love the cast, but between the riddles, the constant twists, and the strange dialogue this film was just a mess, and pretty much unwatchable.… Expand

Thriller about two dirty cops (Nicolas Cage, Elijah Wood) who pull off a heist. Dark, weird, and in serious need of suspense... but does not outright suck. A good thing for a movie starring Cage these days.

Still, even at its meagre 91Thriller about two dirty cops (Nicolas Cage, Elijah Wood) who pull off a heist. Dark, weird, and in serious need of suspense... but does not outright suck. A good thing for a movie starring Cage these days.

Still, even at its meagre 91 minutes, it feels longer, because of the slowness and nothing really elevating the general lethargic feeling. Some of the critics like at least some of it, mentioning dark humor, smartness and oddball charm. Me, I'd compare it to mediocre student project.… Expand
