Depressing, crazy, unpredictable movie that seems like an outline they gave these two great actors and told them "go entertain". The 90 minutes is not worth the ending -- I wish I had the time back. The movie was moving along OK until they actually do the deed then it all goes off the rails and they start doing things that are no characteristic -- got dumb. SKIP THIS

The whole movie is a suspenseful ride with the promise of a payoff - which absolutely never comes. Instead, you get an illogical half-baked ending that makes absolutely no sense (especially for two trained police officers).I don't know what the plan of the writer and director of the movie was other than to make you feel like you've been kicked in the junk at the end. If that was their intention, they definitely hit the mark.Please don't waste your time on this nonsense. If you want to experience 'The Trust' and save yourself over an hour of your life, just jam your crotch against your sofa armrest. Then pick something better to watch after you're done bawling tears and dry-heaving.

Nicholas cage is without out a doubt won of the most successful actors of his generation. Love him or hate him, you cannot deny he is talented at what he does. Ever since Wild at Heart he has made playing weird characters his niche.In "The Trust" he goes a step further. Many of his characters over the years have been a little too similar, but this time he goes all out to be different. And he does it very well with this performance. A very weird and unsettling man, who is far from likable, but remains interesting and unpredictable throughout.That said, the story line suffers from being too predictable at times and too unbelievable at others. A rather unsatisfying chaotic experience that leaves the view wondering what else they could have been doing for the last couple of hours.It rates poorly with me simply because it left me cold. Too much violence and madness, with little cleverness in the plot line to balance it out.

Two cops discover a vault that may contain incredible riches. They decide to pull a heist, but everything does not go according to plan. This is a tonally uneven film that is under-realised in terms of characterisation and plot. The two leads act well enough, and the implied contrast holds potential. But one would like to know what this vast wealth will mean to these two men, and how it will change their lives. Unfortunately, we are never told, but go very quickly into a lot of drilling and busting open of metal doors. Cage does have a father but seems happy to fly to Bermuda and leave him behind. Apparently Cage wanted to be on screen with Jerry Lewis, who plays his father, which explains why that whole aspect seems like an after-thought at best. The volte-face by one of the character's seems random - "These bad guys we are robbing might be really bad guys" - and his decision to make a concession completely telegraphs the ending. Cool soundtrack, and the film has some flashes of cinematic quality, but it is all bitty and seems like a work-in-progress. You've seen this film many times before, and done better most of the time.
