Trust

Once there is doubt ... once someone believes that the other person is not faithful to them anymore ... it is hard to walk that back. For better or worse, Trust is a perfect title for this movie. A movie that is flawed, that shows flaws in humans. Those in love, those who tease them - and the bystanders around them.

I had heard of the ... let's call it service the woman hires. I had not heard the conditions and the ethics behind it. Have to admit, it does make sense. It made less sense to see how this unravels towards the end. But it was kinda fun watching it. Do not expect too much in the titilating department by the way (or to be more specific in the nudtiy department). But if you are here for the story, that shouldn't bother you anyway.

Hot actors aren't a justification to give it 10 stars or whatever happened to give it the average rating of almost 7/10. It was terrible on so many levels with rather average acting from most of the cast. And I know that not every production is meant to be a moral compass for the audience, but I won't ignore this awful normalization of cheating, harassment and toxicity. The story had potential to be something good and exciting, but it really wasn't worth watching; it turned out to be just bad

"Trust" is about life in a big city (NYC at Christmas), young marriage, and how business life comes into play. The start of this movie was a bit slow, but it picked up after a few minutes - but please don't expect any action elements. The plot revolves around young couples that want to make things work with their partner, but business trips, acquaintances, clients, friends and other temptations make a blossoming relationship difficult. Every young professional in a committed relationship will see themselves in some of the situations. I think this is an interesting movie that shows Victoria Justice in a role we may have seen before. But I was also hoping for more excitement in general and more depth in an otherwise predictable plot.

This was a one time watch. A young couple, an act of infidelity and a test of trust, with an ok cast and storyline. But you trolls need to quit it with your over top ratings of 10s for films like this as if they were up for an academy award. You people really need to cease and desist from all the reviewing shenanigans. It's really doing the "real" viewing audience a true disservice. And it simply must stop. Everyone please pay no attention to those overrated reviews. They are simply misleading.

Here's a snippet of how bad the writing of this movie is :

"Did anything happen in Paris?"

"No"

"With full honesty, all cards out on the table"

"No, I'm not gonna answer that question"

"Well would you please answer that question?"

There's a scene where this presumably attractive Irish dude who goes by the name Ansgar fondles Brooke's thighs WITHOUT her consent and she feels uncomfortable. The very next scene they are both conversing like nothing ever happened. Minimal efforts have been put into script writing and the direction. The performances by the actors were below average. Making matters worse was the background music which had no relation to the story nor was it remarkable. The music doesn't even stop for like 10 seconds throughout the movie!

Not to mention movie is flawed. Please avoid this at all costs. 2 stars for Victoria Justice. She looks stunning throughout the movie.
