Let's stop taking sight of the subject matter of the movie but rather talk about it, as it is. Script? Yes. Actors? Clive Owen, oh yeah. Characters? Banal. If 'Trust' could have just been put together more wisely, we will enjoy another stunning masterpiece from Schwimmer like the one we got from his '01: 'Uprising'
Now playing: Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson *There's a sign in your window, that you're hit by, a crescendo, Annie.
Annie (Liana Liberato) isn't okay. Well, not a couple of months ago. An achieved slot in the volley team, a supportive and loving family, and a funny and smart online friend. The third option though isn't seem to be what it is on the surface. Annie, comfortable by the company her online friend, Charlie who apparently lied to her the same number of fingers in her right hand, assaulted and abused her sexually. Annie's parents are calculatedly pissed. Her mother, Lynn (Catherine Keener) stayed the great mother she is and her father, Will (the underrated Clive Owen, who made the film startling acting-wise) almost became a vigilante in keen search for vengeance for her daughter's assault.
A startling performance, thank you Liana Liberato. Sequences that are in truth stirring, thank you Liberato with his reel-father, Clive Owen.
Commendable is the duo. While they did a fantastic job with scenes that involves both their characters, all else scenes felt a notch-lower than my standards and the dialogue comes in with a sad crisp. Although 'Trust' suggest a quality drama because of its subject, and it, giving the 'goods': the script and performances, it unfortunately does not bring out the 'real deal'.
The subject matter is frightening, therefore automatically effective, however it doesn't bring out the 'movie' feel in it.
