yomanhello The movie did show a real world problem that actually most likely happens around the world and It's sad. But It does show the truth. You can't just trust some random person like that. It's crazy. The stuff that happens nowadays. It was a pretty sad movie. I don't usually cry over movies much but this one almost made me cry. I suggest watching this movie.

DogFilmCritic (Warning this review may contain some spoilers)I recommend this movie to every single friend of mine who has a child, how Internet has become a double edge tool and how some creepy yet smart people can use it to their own sick benefits is quite scary. This films details how a single perverted mind can destroy a loving family, on how the father ( played by Clive Owen in one of his best roles) gets obsessed on finding the guy that raped his daughter, his focused is getting "justice" done and forgets on what's more important helping to cope with her. I honestly felt shocked on how realistic this film was on how raw it's emotions are towards pedophiles and showing the public who they disguise themselves as ordinary people and that's the toughest part knowing they are not this malevolent ugly men or women they can look like simple likable persons in the outside. Everyone involved in this movie did a phenomenal job and I have to give mayor points to Liana Liberato her acting is outstanding and I wish her the best on a bright career. To me the ending is the absolute truth this people may be loving parents with good marriages and most likely never touch there own children that doesn't mean they are sick and true monsters they just know how to hide their true selves, as an old Japanese saying we have 3 faces one to the public another one to our loved ones and the last one to ourselves.

blanche-2 David Schwimmer does a decent job of directing "Trust," from 2010, with a marvelous cast consisting of Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Liana Liberato, and Viola Davis.Owen and Keener are Will and Lynn, who have a boy about to go off to college, a beautiful 14-year-old daughter, Annie, and a little girl. It's very important for Annie to fit in at school -- she wants to be liked by the "in" crowd. One night she goes to a party and becomes uncomfortable when she realizes the girls there are much more sexualized than she is. She's still a virgin.Annie has been in a teen chat room talking to a guy named Charlie for a couple of months. She believes him to be 16. He confesses that he lied and he's really 20. Later, he says he's 25. He comes into town to meet her, and they meet in a mall. She is shocked when she sees him -- he's closer to 35.Charlie convinces her to go to a motel with him, and he rapes her. She tells her best friend, Bridget, about her experience, and Bridget goes to the school principle. The police are called, and Annie has to submit to a rape kit, the FBI is brought in, and her parents are informed.Annie is livid with her parents, drops Bridget as a friend and becomes increasingly more angry and sullen, especially when she is unable to talk to Charlie -- he hangs up when he realizes his call is being traced. She doesn't believe he's a predator For Annie, this is a boyfriend - he tells her she's beautiful and special, he gets her. Meanwhile, Will is torturing himself with his obsession over his daughter's rape and is determined to find "Charlie" and kill him. A somewhat predictable film enlivened by an excellent cast. The standout is Liana Liberato, who captures every emotion of Annie's. Most impressive is while she's begging Charlie to get off of her, her face suddenly changes, and you know she has totally distanced herself from the situation. Clive Owen is effective as a loving father who believes that he's failed. He's preparing an ad campaign for the "tween" market showing teens looking very provocative. He becomes aware of teens being oversexualized and the predators who seduce them, playing into their loneliness and insecurities.The end of the film is quite chilling."Trust" shows that along with the virtues of technology, there are a lot of sins, and parents have to have the wiles of a snake and constantly monitor their kids. Anybody can pose as someone else, send fake photos, say all the right things, and take away a young girl's innocence.I have to agree this was a little on the Hallmark Movie side -- it's one of those films where if they hadn't assembled the cast they did, it could have been a TV movie. Still, it was a good watch.

A_Different_Drummer The definitive Hollywood cautionary tale remains the 1936 production of Reefer Madness which, in common with this film, was produced to make a point.Don't laugh -- the number of IMDb members who have rated Reefer Madness to date is about 6,000. This is not a film which has suffered the ignominy of obscurity.Schwimmer meant well. You can see it in the writing, the casting and the direction. But meaning well and producing a good film do not always go hand in hand, especially when you are really teaching the viewer, not entertaining him.Truth is, the film does not come alive until the 1:20 mark when Liana Liberato, who really was 14 at time of shooting, gives not only the outstanding performance of the movie but a performance that dwarfs the efforts of Owen and Keener who, frankly, seem uncomfortable with the script. This is the same Liberato who would later shine in BEST OF ME.The ending, the last 120 seconds, is clever and resonates with some of the camera work in Tony Curtis's portrayal of The Boston Strangler.Bottom line: could have been much worse.
