First off I usually hate to write reviews before a product is released, However after seeing this movie I have to do so. I will be coming back and reviewing the Blu Ray quality once it is released so do not worry! Now for the Movie....This movie is about a young girl who is the victim of an internet predator, I seriously do not want to give anything about this movie out it hits HARD. The acting on both Clive Owens part and Liana Liberato are amazing. At times I wanted to cry for her and at others I could not even watch, Clive Owen brings so much realism to his role as a father it really got to me being a father and all I recommend this movie to any parent and teenager.
Child Predators come in all forms and I really think this movie could help parents recognize things going on around them. Teenagers could also learn from this movie, It is a serious problem and the movie did such a well job showing so.
EDIT
So I have watched the Blu Ray release now and Must say it is not what I was expecting, Do not get me wrong it was great just not as good as most modern blu ray releases. The Audio was good the video was a bit lacking the darks a bit uneven, only two extras that are movie related regardless, It is still a must own and I recommend it to all.Forget what you know about the clichés of online predators. Forget what you've seen on shows like Dateline or Oprah. And I challenge you: Go ahead and go into this movie with a preconceived notion on its premise. This movie will baffle you on how complex the human spirit is. Yes, the girl meets a guy older than her from the Internet across the country. But no, it will be nothing of what you think the outcome will be.
Humans are incredibly complex and this honest film delves into the psychology of a functioning family like nothing I've seen. Once you think the movie will take one step deeper, it takes three. Once you believe one surprise is coming, three do. The acting: wonderful. The writing: (literally) breathtaking. The overall composition of the piece: riveting. Its brilliance should be watched by any boy or girl or father or mother or man or woman from ages 10 to dead. I guarantee that you will not be able to get the film out of your thoughts for at least a few days. You'll understand right when you put it into your DVD player.Trust is one of those films that every one should see.
It sparks conversations long after you leave the theater about the internet, family values, relationships and how one incident can change the future. It is realistic and as a woman, I sat there going "yepI can see myself doing that."
The acting is amazing... Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are at the top of their game, yet it is newcomer Liana Liberto who grabs your heart and doesn't let go.
EVERY parent needs to watch this film. I certainly agree "its one if the year's BEST Films!"

Sometimes after I watch a movie and think about how I would rate it, I'm really surprised to see the variety of other opinions when I go to Amazon or IMDB. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised because we all know how different we all are and how different our perceptions can be. For me, this movie was riveting, emotionally powerful and the acting was incredibly good. The subject matter is difficult to watch. But necessary to watch if you are a parent because it seems absolutely true to life in terms of what can happen to kids/teens on the internet and the forces that can drive apart a loving family. The title "Trust" is totally appropriate since trust or lack thereof is at the core of every facet of the film. Highly recommended. An easy 5 stars on Amazon. But, hey, there are people giving it one or two stars. Go figure.Painfully slow story. Good actors but, this is a difficult movie to watch unless you have nothing else to do and nothing else to watch.Hard to believe that there is anyone alive today who doesn't already know the story. From the time the teenager first goes on the internet, one immediately knows the rest of the movie.
Perhaps this movie should be shown to pre-teeners at an educational or after-school program but, this is not a suspensful or rewarding movie to watch.
Only skilled acting brings a one-star movie up to a two star.
