Plots(1)
Waters and Stone are two nobody police officers working dull administrative jobs and making extra money selling stolen Civil Service Exams to other officers. When Stone hears a story about a heroin dealer quickly beating his extremely high bail, the two friends set into motion a plan to find the origin of such a large amount of cash. Through diligent police work they follow a trail that leads directly to a custom bank-style vault built into the back room freezer of a small grocery store. They put a plan into motion to rob the vault and split whatever they find inside. But by the time they figure out what the vault contains, it's already too late to turn back. The Trust is a film about the philosophy behind a crime. It's a taxonomic approach to the heist movie that gives the audience a chance to examine closely each dark development, as the two cops slip quietly into a rabbit hole from which they cannot return.

The film has two actors I like a lot, and it has a story that could be good but isn't. It's too simplistic, it just wants to look good on the surface, but there's really not much beneath it. Nicolas is great as always, just the way I like him, but Elijah simply wasn't the right choice for this role; casting-wise, he's completely off.

This movie sets out to be a more than respectable movie or at least one that would have stood out in terms of quality on the list of movies Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood have made in recent years. Unfortunately this dark humor-spiked stylish heist film is saddled with a unsatisfactory finale, with a completely illogical twist based on a giant cliché in the form a a big moral dilemma, that really takes the movie down a peg, and negated most of the positive feelings I had about it. It's a shame!
