best movie i've ever seen.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Trust feels like a mixture of a documentary and drama...Annie is a teenage girl who seems a bit outcasted but finds a connection with another teenage boy online...who is actually practically twice her age...as his lies unfold when they meet things take a turn for the worst...Annie is then raped and believes it's just an agape love intercourse...as time goes on and the FBI looking for this man who has used other girls around her age or younger reality hit home...Annie then breaks down and later finds her face photoshopped on an image two people having sex doggy style at school...she heads back home and slips past her dad and overdoses on a medication...she recovers but the ending doesn't show that the man who raped her is found...The nine star rating is true...having a daughter of my own this is a real eye opener of the dangers of internet chatting and what can happen as time goes on...I would say parents show this film to your daughters when they begin to chat online more often...without being careful God forbid something similar happen to them...Excellent movie acting needs a little work but the message is what makes this movie worth seeing...

I didn't know what to expected from this movie, one thing is certain, I was pleasantly surprised by David Schwimmer movie. The movie is about a teenage girl from a good family that targeted by an online sexual predator. The subject of online predators didn't investigate enough by Hollywood, and Schwimmer do a nice job by raise the issue. Although the plot focus on the online sexual predator and his victim, the movie is all about TRUST- simple as it sound. How can you live your life, with all the evil out there, and still trust people- not matter if it's a stranger, your daughter, the law enforcement. More than all, the main question is if you can trust yourself?. This's why Trust is more similar to movies like Doubt and Shame, that have a large theme (Pedophilia and Sex Addiction), but the meaning is about a specific emotion or concept (Doubt and Shame). The movie also focus on father-daughter relationship. Will (great acting by Clive Owen), the father, finds it difficult to trust people, it is quite the opposite from his daughter's character, this's what make their relationship so intriguing. The climax happened in the ending, something change, the characters close the circle and understanding their past mistakes. I am little surprise that no one mentioned the similarities between the movie Ordinary People and this movie, especially the ending.In a world that people can hide their true identity by using technology, it's hard to feel safe, in a 'fake world', how can you trust anyone? the real scary thing is, that you must have some kind of trust to keep living, you can't conduct your life with permanent paranoia. Without trust, we left with anarchy- Will character is a great example, few times he break the law. This's what make this movie great, it's not masterpiece, but it's make me think, and this alone worth the money.

Reading the title and the main story, I was thinking, that Trust means in this case between the targeted teenager and the online predator, but it is even more. Trust means in this movie the belief in the family for each other, which is a certain point of time absolutely missing between the main characters, and the film is showing the way how they are able (or not able) to get it back. After the first half an hour it is visible, that the main character in the movie is not the daughter, but the father, since he is the one, who generates most of the feelings around him, and he needs to fix everything. So one of the main objective of the film, is to show, how difficult being a father in the 21. century, with all the potential dangers around the family, knowing, how big physical and spiritual support need to be maintained. Big respect for David Schwimmer and Clive Owen!

Schwimmer crams a lot into his directorial debut: an elaborate and nasty grooming process, social (guilt) references through the workplace and colleague of the (girl's) father, the son who is seemingly favored, revenge sentiments and fantasies, et cetera and so on. So, it aspires to thrill as much as it wants to be dramatically apt, but instead becomes a laborious mix of TV-movie drama meets rape & revenge flick (where the revenge is only in the mind). For me, it never really took off.Liberato's acting ranges from okay to very good, Owen plays pretty much okay, but convinces most in the final scene, and the rest of the cast keeps up nicely. And although no less than the first half hour is just about the grooming, it still didn't convince me somehow. Then there's a lot of going back and forth between the different characters of the father and daughter, the investigation, and back to the father / mother relationship; it all felt a bit messy.All in all not bad, really, but also not a stunner by a long shot. 5 out of 10.
