Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The movie gets a lot less interesting once it starts to go dark, so to speak, and the elements of the story that you had identified as red herrings earlier on turn out to be, yup, red herrings.
"The Trust" betrays its hidden wispiness as the comic edge dissipates and a dreary darkness takes over.
Wood and Cage have a terrific dynamic together.
The script, by Adam Hirsch and Benjamin Brewer, is full of both humor and menace, giving the actors plenty to work with. That makes for an enjoyably slow buildup to an unexpected ending.
