Trust

2.5/5 A family is devastated by a crime committed against a teenage girl in this drama. Annie (Liana Liberato) is 14 years old and growing up in a suburb of Chicago. Annie's parents, Will (Clive Owen) and Lynn (Catherine Keener), are loving, but they've been busy with her older brother, Peter (Spencer Curnutt), who is heading off to college, so she spends a lot of time on-line chatting with a boy she met on the Internet, Charlie. Annie has developed a powerful crush on Charlie, and when he asks her to meet face to face, she eagerly agrees. However, Annie is startled to discover that Charlie isn't 16 years old, as she was led to believe, but in his mid-thirties (Chris Henry Coffey), and when he talks her into stopping by his hotel room, he sexually assaults her. Humiliated, Annie confides to a friend what happened, and eventually the police are notified; it turns out that "Charlie" is a sex offender they've been tracking for months. While Annie is devastated by the experience, her family is just as shocked by what happened, particularly Will, who becomes grimly obsessed with finding the man who raped his daughter. Trust was directed by actor-turned-filmmaker David Schwimmer, representing a significant change from the comedies that made his name. wow first of all really???? m really surprised its been directed by David Schwimmer that is hard to believe. i would say this movie shock me up a bit, its compelling and somewhat dark. it had some flaws too so i am rating it this low. a really nice attempt by David for directing a movie, his message and his intention was really wide and clear but i wish he could have given his some more attention to the movie but still a nice watch. this movie is something i would recommend every Teenage girl to watch because that really happens, i have heard and seen and it really disturbs me so much. this movie revolves around a 14 years old teenage girl who chats with someone unknown and she develops some friendly and then kind of more than that feeling for this guy. she is shown chatting with him about every little thing of her life and he seems to really pretend he cares and all but when he actually meets her he himself is not a teen but a 35 years old man. Annie being so attached to him over the whole chatting thing she somehow forgive him, thats where she did a mistake she should have run away from there, but that happens because young girls are not mature they are innocent. i was really disturbed by her raping, really felt for her. things get really worst emotionally for her obviously and her family. Annie is played by Liana Liberato did a nice job as a sexually assaulted teenager, i liked her performance. she did a fine job. Clive Owen as her father Will was superb, one of his best performance i liked him. he is s good as a father. and what can i say about Catherine Keener she is always terrific, she plays Annie's mother Lynn. she was my favorite performer, she always does excellent. other actors include Jason Clarke, Viola Davis , Chris Henry Coffey , Spencer Curnutt , Aislinn Debutch , Noah Emmerich. there are minor flaws in the screenplay that bothered me but overall the movie is strong that is why you won't much noticed. it is slightly uneven and hollow in many places. editing could have been better too. direction was nice but needs work to be honest. story was something that is compelling to watch. after what happens to her that is when things get a bit repetitive that should have been focused according to me because the scenes feels repetitive. but overall a movie that is a must watch for parents and teens. and the ending was shocking to me, do notice the exact moment before the credits, that really shocked me. Recommended.
