Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

punisherversion1 Trust Me: When I came into this movie, I really thought it might be a more comedic effort along the lines of ' Life with Mikey' with Michael J Fox. I should have known better from the guy who directed Choke. This is a timely movie in a lot of regards with the recent sex scandals coming out of Hollywood and I also watched the documentary An Open Secret which will really make you question humanity. This is about a talent agent for children who is really struggling, down on his luck and finds a new talent who is truly mind blowing. But this is only the tip of the iceberg though. It digs into this world and what it means to live in it. It feels like a drug and you continue chasing that high no matter what the cost. Clark Gregg plays a former child actor turned talent agent representing children. He understands what that life was like and knows what they need. He seems to genuinely care about their well being while everyone else is looking for their piece of the pie. The thing is the way it ends though is a tiny bit uncomfortable. I won't give it away here but this changes the movie entirely. It becomes a strong drama and the title is essential to the theme of trust. Trust in your parents to help you. Trust in your friends to know when you're in a bad situation to help you. Trust that someone else has your best interests at heart. Trust that you're not a pawn in their game. Trusting in nothing becomes a very tiring and lonely life. Never to have your trust rewarded and to always have people fail you. It's a really solid movie and I look forward to what Clark Gregg does next. I give this movie a B.

unsallloguzzz The movie is very lack of comedy for a movie considered as a comedy. But you can't say it's a bad movie, the storytelling was good... Until the end. The ending was very unexpected but not in a good way. Film couldn't pull it off an ending like that and it ruined the movie for me. To end a movie like that, they should have gone a different direction for the whole movie. Because it didn't fit. It was a little too dark. Clark Gregg and Amanda Peet was good though. You can say the casting is well. Nobody seemed like that they don't belong there. I guess you can watch the movie without high expectations. And without expecting a comedy of course.

jepp4066 We're born into this world alone. In the in-between there's, usually, a whole series of bonds that enriches and builds us into who we become. Enter the strange world of child actors. In that world if one experiences a degree of success everyone wants to celebrate you. The only problem is child actors are a kind of disposable asset. They give up so much of themselves as they ascend the heights, but that almost never lasts; instead a sort of Machiavellian trade-off ensues. Instead of a continuance of a fantastic future comes one loss after another. The greatest of which can be a sort of isolation where further success is always just around the corner yet rarely found. A sad isolation becomes reality. The question becomes how to find salvation before the inevitable end.More or less, this is the setup for the movie "Trust Me". Clark Gregg plays Howard a middle- aged struggling adolescent talent agent. Howard has never found continued success, but that doesn't stop him from trying. He's desperate and he has a kind of foot in the door, but he is his own worst enemy and almost, in his desperation, attracts failure. As the story begins he loses his best prospect almost totally due to his inability to cloak his neediness. Howard practically begs to be crushed and Gregg brings it 100% as far as realism and believability is concerned. I mean the guy wrote and directed a masterpiece and then brought it to life by starring in it. This is like the best example of an almost otherworldly talent which I only slightly noticed heretofore nailing it Academy Award style in one fell swoop. Already I will gladly go out on a limb and say best actor and director with confidence. Saxon Sharbino is almost as likely for best supporting actress. The adjunct supporting cast is also first rate. This, simply, is already the must see movie of the year and deserves the whole enchilada. Brilliant filmmaking!

mdonln 'Trust Me' wasn't at all what I was expecting at first but I was definitely not disappointed. Since watching it, I have recommended to friends who have also liked it. We've also enjoyed discussing the various themes presented. It's interesting how many of those themes overlap from the movie to real life and into other situations. I always enjoy a movie that makes me think.Most of the actors are familiar faces; well-known from both TV and movies yet that did not distract from the story in the least. The young actress, Saxon Sharbino, is really good. I had never seen her in other roles but she nailed it. I hope she'll have a bright future in the business. What most impressed me is how Clark Gregg not only starred in but also wrote and directed this movie. I liked his many references to past actors and shows too.Getting movies made is not easy so I really appreciate actors who push to get their movies made and are willing to take small roles in lower- budget movies. It give us more options. Big budget blockbusters can be fun at times but they're often too formulaic, which I find boring. Some rely heavily on fillers like car chases, explosions, violence, sex scenes, and special effects. All of those things are fine but, I feel, they should support a really good, well-written story.
