SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

vishwas-61052 The moment when I felt movie is getting interesting, Cage dies and finally a horrible ending.

Michael_Elliott The Trust (2016) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Las Vegas police officer Stone (Nicolas Cage) stumbles across some strange paperwork, which leads him to look into a mysterious building. He soon starts to realize that there's some sort of vault inside and he talks another officer (Elijah Wood) into breaking in with him. Soon the two realize it's much bigger than they thought.THE TRUST comes from directors Alex, Ben and Benjamin Brewer and for the most part it is an entertaining and somewhat captivating heist movie. That's not to say the film is perfect or even a good one but at the same time it's certainly worth watching as a Redbox rental or a free viewing like I did with Netflix. The film has some weak moments at the start and I'd argue some of the humor is flat but there's no question that the final forty-five minutes are very good.As I said, the worst part of the movie was some of the strange and rather pointless black comedy at the start of the picture. At first I thought I was watching some sort of weak comedy because it was just rather annoying to say the least. Once you get to the heart of the movie, which is the actual heist, you look back at these early scenes and really have to wonder what the point of them were. Once the movie is over you've basically seen a good heist movie yet your brain remembers back to the start of the picture and it really doesn't make much sense.I'd also say Wood's character changes throughout the film also didn't make much sense. I'm not going to go into spoilers but to say his character was a bit strange would be an understatement. With all of that said, there's no question that the final portion of this movie is very good. Once the two cops get their plan in motion we get a couple surprises along the way and I'd also argue that the drilling sequences were very well directed. Again, I'm not going to spoil how everything ends but there are some good twists that will remind you of the film noirs from the 1950s.Both Cage and Wood are good in their roles and they certainly help keep you glued into the movie. Cage really stands out with a pretty laid back and entertaining performance, although there's one sequence where he goes ballistic like only he can. The supporting players are nice as well and we get a brief scene with Jerry Lewis. Yes, that Jerry Lewis. Technically speaking the music and cinematography are both very good and this helps THE TRUST as well.

Samuel-Shovel This movie starts out really strong. The plot maybe a bit nonsensical but it's fast-paced and keeps your attention. Through about the first hour, we're doing alright. But that last half hour, sheesh! The movie falls flat, riddled with plot holes and ludicrous character decisions, mostly by Elijah Wood. Then to top it all off, the final scene raises the ridiculousness to an entire new level.I know that this is just a dumb heist movie but the script should at least try to maintain a semblance of being believable. Is that too much to ask? The movie's title is "The Trust", wanting us to focus on the relationships in this movie and the trust established with them. If that's your whole movie idea, why not focus on that more. We know next to nothing about Cage & Wood's relationship. How long have they known each other? Are they close? The movie doesn't tell us. It's suppose to be this traumatic scene when Wood betrays Cage but we as the audience have no emotional ties to their relationship. Neither of them is exactly likable so the rift that is formed between them (which is out of nowhere, by the way) doesn't mean anything to us. And why exactly Wood decides to trust the girl over Cage at the end is beyond me. Poor ending, very poor.

magnuslhad 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.
